Rescue workers have found a body.

Very sad news

I think heatstroke (like hypothermia) is very insidious. You may not realise how seriously you are affected until it becomes too late for any form of self help & if no other help is rapidly available the inevitable happens.

There have been frequent occurrences of fit young soldiers on exercises dying from heatstroke/exhaustion in lower temperatures than those in Greece.

god my post has lasted more than 30s !

Yes I was thinking of that - they were not able to form the decision " not bloody likely" as they would fail 'to go para'.

there was one instance where they tried to zero five, and then blame the junior officers ( of course - see Post office)

This was the pen-y-fan run, known colloquially as The Fan Dance. - this is on subject isnt it? only one ref to the post office....

. Brains don't equate to sense. - - - Hallelujah ! someone has said it !

 "I don't always carry mine ( phone) when I'm out & about." I do. along with window check and house keys. Keys bit easy as I lock the house. - for that reason.... ( yes yes I know heat stroke is particularly rare in Manchester). Me n the phone are joined at the hip.

The police have said he died of natural causes.

Peter - You are on thin ice - again.

Please make your point, and leave the sarcasm out.

Thank you.

Remember the SAS soldiers in the Brecon Beacons?

The last few paragraphs are particularly relevant:

Hyperthermia
Heat exhaustion and heatstroke (referred to by the coroner as hyperthermia) are two potentially serious conditions that can occur if you get too hot.

They usually happens during a heatwave or in a hot climate, but can also occur when doing very strenuous physical exercise.

Heat exhaustion is where you become very hot and start to lose water or salt from your body, which leads to generally feeling unwell

Heatstroke is where the body is no longer able to cool itself and a person's body temperature becomes dangerously high

Heatstroke is less common than heat exhaustion, but more serious. It can put a strain on the brain, heart, lungs, liver and kidneys, and can be life-threatening

Oops, I missed the third page - sorry Peter!

You missed my post at 13:54 too, ellipsis.

Hmm, natural causes - what does that mean?  He walked in extreme heat and died of natural causes "coincidentally", or he walked in extreme heat and died of natural causes "because of the heat", or what?  I think one thing it doesn't mean is that he fell off a cliff, or that somebody else was involved in his death.

[andy-hughes]

As I understand it, 'natural causes' means no foul play - he may have died from a fall, or heat stroke, but no-one else was involved. 

[naomi24]

Apparently a heart attack can be considered a natural cause.  Brought on by extreme heat and effort in his case?  Who knows?

If the body is repatriated, the coroner CAN hold an inquest if he wishes. - so long as it is in his area. ( special rules for people like Diana) - but clearly getting witnesses about a foreign death is a challenge - ( we all knew this really didnt we?)
