Brit female tourist among five dead in tragedy at Chilean national park

A female Brit tourist has been found dead with four others at popular national park in the Chilean Patagonia. The Brit woman was confirmed found along with two Mexican nationals, one female and one male, and two German nationals, one female and one male. All five tourists had been visiting Torres del Paine National Park when the tragedy occurred yesterday (November 17). Reports believe the incident occurred due to complex weather conditions. Presidential delegate of Magallanes, José Antonio Ruiz , confirmed new of the bodies and their nationalities this afternoon (November 18). He told local media outlet Emol that work on evacuating the bodies was underway. Ruiz said: "We are in the process of evacuation and consular procedures, due to the nationality of these people." The air force would likely be called in for the operation, he confirmed, but it depends on the weather forecast. Ruiz also went on to explain that the national park is very large and difficult for trucks and cars to access. This is a breaking news story and is being constantly updated.
