A 40-year-old British woman, Sarah Nawrie, died this afternoon when she fell some 25 metres down Wied Mielah in Gozo. She had been cycling with her husband and had paused on the narrow path at the edge of the cliff when the accident happened.
Her body was spotted in the sea by an AFM helicopter after a search which also involved AFM divers on a rescue launch, and rescuers of the Civil Protection Department.
The body was recovered by the rescue launch, which took it to Mgarr.
