Sad news for the pilgrims community that have to mourn the pasing of a 65 years old Irish pilgrim cyclist found by a local on the side of the road by his bicycle. No visible damages to the bicycle, so a traffic acident has been initially ruled out. The pilgrim exhibited head injury and it is speculated that this was either natural causes and/or a fall that resulted on a fatal head injury. Autopsy results should be released soon. The Camino on that section (pass Alto de San Roque by Hospital da Condesa) is mostly small gravel and many cyclists prefer to take on the adjacent paved road. An investigation is underway.
Later reports are placing the incident 1 km from Hospital Da Condesa.
May he rest in peace. Buen Camino!
