Captain Etienne Terblanche said Naess, from Oslo and in his 60s, fell to his death at 12:30 pm (1030 GMT) on a mountain in the wine producing town of Franschoek, about 80 kilometres (50 miles) north of Cape Town. "Mr Naess was a guest on the farm Lomarins in Franschoek. He went climbing at 8:00 am this morning and fell to his death at about 12:30 pm," Terblanche said. "An inquest will be held to determine exactly what happened," he said. A spokesman for the Norwegian embassy in Pretoria confirmed that a person from the country had died in an accident. "A Norwegian person died in an accident in the Western Cape province, but that is all the information we have now," the spokesman said. Naess, a renowned mountaineer, divorced Ross in May 1999 after 13 years of marriage. The couple had two sons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
