German Olympian Biathlon Gold Medalist Laura Dahlmeier, 31. Mountaineering accident, killed by falling rocks.
The body of double Olympic champion Laura Dahlmeier is likely to be left on top of the mountain in Pakistan where she died in a tragic accident.
Dahlmeier, 31, was struck by a sudden rockfall at an altitude of around 5,700 metres at Laila Peak in the Karakoram mountains on Monday.
Her mountaineering partner alerted rescue services and an international recovery team was sent to the area. However, a helicopter only reached the remote site on Tuesday morning and rescue workers were unable to reach the German athlete.
The search continued on Wednesday, when she was found dead.
Local authorities have since confirmed they are likely to respect Dahlmeier's 'written wishes' and leave her body behind on the mountain.
'It was Laura's clear and written wishes that in an instance such as this, no one should risk their own lives in order to rescue her,' a statement on her Instagram read. 'Her wish was that in this case her body should be left behind on the mountain.
'This is also in line with the express wishes of the relatives, who have requested Laura's last wishes be respected.'
Authorities have not officially confirmed that her body will remain on the mountain.
In an article by Bild, local government spokesman Faizullah Faraq was quoted as saying: 'We were told that Laura Dahlmeier's wish was to leave her body on the mountain after her death. "I want to be buried in the mountains, that's my dream."
'That was her dream. Now her wish has been fulfilled, so we are considering whether we can leave her body there.'
Dahlmeier had been climbing in the Hushe Valley with her mountaineering partner Marina Eva Krauss when she was struck by the falling rocks. Her representatives added that she most likely died instantly, while Krauss was unharmed.

This was big news here few days ago, but I don't follow winter sports that much, so I didn't know her before. Still, RIP.BlahComment
