One pilgrim died in a German national early yesterday morning at the hostel municipal victim of a heart attack. The deceased was doing the Camino de Santiago in the company of his wife, also German.

The incident happened at around three in the morning, when the victim began to be wrong. Medical services came to attend patients, but could not do anything to save his life.

The wife of the deceased said yesterday morning before the authorities, already studying the repatriation of the corpse. The body of the German pilgrim was taken to forensic anatomy of Leon, where he conducted the autopsy

Think about this for a little bit, and realize it really is not so sad.
These people died right in the middle of really living. I can´t think of a better place or time to go, than in the midst of a self-motivated journey to a spiritual place, surrounded by supportive fellow-travelers.

Dying is just another part of living. The camino is lined with pilgrim cemeteries. I´d much rather make my exit from somewhere along the trail than from an antiseptic hospital wired-up to machines.
(I can only hope my exit would not overly traumatize the pilgrims around me!)
