It has been very warm out there... be careful pilgrims!A later article has stated that the man was a German national aged 69 and had been walking with his daughter.
Fallece un peregrino en Vega de Valcarce en plena ola de calor
Todo apunta a "causas naturales", según el Sacyl, que envió un helicóptero y una ambulancia para atender al hombre, un varón de nacionalidad alemana y 69 años que realizaba el Camino de Santiago, junto a su hija, y que había empezado esta etapa en Villafranca del Bierzo | Cadena SERcadenaser.com
How very sad, and especially unfortunate that his daughter had to witness the loss of her father on what had been most likely a wonderful bonding experience just moments prior.A later article has stated that the man was a German national aged 69 and had been walking with his daughter.

Perhaps sad, but perhaps not. Personally, my hope is that, when my time comes, I am walking on the Camino. To me, that would be perfect.How very sad, and especially unfortunate that his daughter had to witness the loss of her father on what had been most likely a wonderful bonding experience just moments prior.
So sad to learn this news. Rest peacefully Pilgrim. RIP. My sincere condolences to his daughter and to all his loved ones.A later article has stated that the man was a German national aged 69 and had been walking with his daughter.

I too send my most heartfelt love to the family of this man and the young man who is referenced in another post who also had a suspected heart attack and passed away.It has been very warm out there... be careful pilgrims!
The updated news story indicates the German pilgrim who died near Las lagunas was 69 and had previous heart problems. The German father -daughter pair my husband and I got to know between roncesvalles and Carrion de los condes (when we started speeding up) matches this description. He was 69 and his daughter said he had had a heart attack a few years ago. In any case, these are extraordinarily sad events and I hope their families find some peace.Yes, but the OP's link was of a father, age 65 walking with his daughter. There have been two deaths of men reported, unfortunately. The 46 year old man had no children. There has been another thread about him and he was loved by many people.
I was a few kilometers in front of them day of event. It was very hot and combined with the climb it was quite a challenge. I stayed over at La Laguna and watched a parade of taxis flow in to take pilgrims the short ride to O’Cebreio. Prayers for his loved ones as they deal with the loss.R.I.P Pilgrim.
Samarkand.

Did the man have a wheelbarrow/trolley with him that he pulled by a belt on his waist by any chance? I’m trying to figure out if it was a father/daughter that I walked with off and on and stayed with at a couple albergues. Regardless, it’s tragic.I was there when this happened. Passed by after they declared him deceased and were waiting for emergency helicopter to get him off the trail. It was horribly sad. It was just before La Faba on the very steep, rocky, slippery, and extremely hot that day section. I believe he collapsed around 11am, and I passed by about an hour later. Again at that point CPR had been stopped and they were just waiting for the helicopter. They had a dog with them. I stayed in La Faba that night and saw the daughter and dog at my albergue. Gave her a huge hug and condolences. Very sad
Oh no. This is, indeed, the lovely dad and daughter duo that my husband and I had dinner with in Torres del rio and spoke with many times over a 2 week period. Their adorable dog, Franck, ( a girl dog) was a sweet and faithful companion to them both. The dad clearly adored his smart, vivacious daughter (we don’t speak German and he didn’t speak English, so we spoke to and through his daughter each time we were together). I’m so terribly sad to learn this was, after all, the pair I thought it might be.I was there when this happened.

Did you get the dad’s name? I know they were from the Hamburg area and would like to send her a condolence card. I can find the obit online but am forgetting his nameI was there when this happened.

I walked into Villafranca del Bierzo today so am only 1 day behind this unfortunate soul...and being only one day off it is possible that our paths may have crossed at some point (I met a good number of father/daughter teams)
In any case the Temps have been hovering in the mid to upper 30s for the last couple of days; I even saw one Farmacia displaying 40
You can start feeling it by 10:30 or so by noon it's pretty darn hot and by 14:00 SIMPLY UNBEARABLE.... Nights are not better spent in albergues with no A/C and little if any ventilation (not a complaint per se merely stating the facts)
I completed my CF two weeks ago, at 72 , walking in the afternoon to Mansilla de las Mullas on a hot day , to Leon and between other places, during the heat wave in 38c was pure hell , but Camino Gods also give you strength , with determination and grit , I made it from SJPP to Santiago in 34 days. Wishing all pilgrims contented , safe and and enjoyable Camino. take care,More like scorching hot

I'd read recently of the extreme heat in Spain and instantly thought a silent prayer for protection of all pilgrims currently on the Camino. My sympathies go out to his daughter.A later article has stated that the man was a German national aged 69 and had been walking with his daughter.

Over the last day or two I have been hearing on the Canadian media of high temperatures in Spain, accompanied by wildfires. I did not hear of a specific location for the fires.
So sad. May he rest in peace. And I prayers for peace and courage for his daughter and loved ones.
RIP. Ultreia Pilgram.May your soul Rest In Peace !
May your soul Rest In Peace Pilgrim !
I pray for his family at this difficult time. May he rest in peace and find many beautiful Camino's to walk in his heavenly home.
