Missing pilgrim found... not good news

[ivar]

Dear all,

Some of you might have seen a request on the forum to help find a missing German pilgrim over the last few days. This thread has now been removed on the request of the original poster since he was found deceased. I called the Guardia Civil earlier today and made sure that they identified him (in case the post here the other day could help them). He was already identified and the local consulate had been notified. It seems that his family has also now been notified.

It seems he fell of a cliff close the the sea and his body was rescued by helicopter. There are a few articles about this here:

My condolences to his family and friends.
May he rest in peace.

 

[JohnnieWalker]

What a tragedy - every sympathy for his family and friends.

Thanks also for the earlier thread being suspended until the facts were established. There must be nothing worse than people learning of the possible death of a loved one on social media.

 

[sharon w]

Very sad. Condolences to his family and friends.

 

[Tincatinker]

Buen camino Pilgrim - and condolences to your family and friends

 

[grayland]

The Camino, like the rest of the world, has many dangers.
A reminder to all Pilgrims to take care of yourselves.

Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones.

I am so very sad for this loss. The family would be devastated. This community of pilgrims is diminished. Let us hold him and those who grieve in our hearts and prayers.

 

[Wokabaut_Meri]

Heartfelt condolences to family and friends.

Thank you @ivar for the professional way in which this was dealt with on the Forum.

Awful news. RIP Tom.

Very sad news. Heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. May they have all the support they need at this very difficult time.
(@ivar, I 'liked' your post for its sensitivity, though I could not in any way like its tragic message. Thank you for your care in the way you handled this...)

I hope he didn't suffer. Condolences to his poor family. RIP Tom

[movinmaggie]

I am so very saddened by this news. My heartfelt sympathy to all who held our fellow pilgrim dear.
Extremely well handled by Ivar and mods.

 

[JenD]

My prayers for his family and may he find peace on this next stage of his pilgrimage.

 

[MinaKamina]

Such sad news. Condolences for the family.

His journey through France was wonderful. Het left breathtaking pictures, he must have had an eye for beauty.
Amid landscapes and nature, he also took a picture of the soles of his boots. The profile had all but disappeared. A few days later, the soles were repaired in way, but not with new Vibram replacements.

Don't know if that contributed to his fall, but it is enough to make one weep.

 

[Ralph Keith Redhead]

A terrible tragedy. May he rest in peace. Sincere condolences to his family and friends.
