A 23-year-old released IDF soldier was killed in a paragliding accident in the city of Medellín, Colombia, during his post-service trip abroad. A Chabad emissary, in cooperation with the Israeli Embassy, is working with authorities to bring his coffin for burial in Israel as soon as possible. The local instructor who was with him was seriously injured after the tandem paraglider crashed in a forested area in the Antioquia Department, apparently due to strong winds and harsh weather conditions. The prosecutor's office has opened a legal investigation and is collecting evidence at the scene, and local authorities inspected the paragliding business and found everything to be in order, although the investigation continues to determine the circumstances of the tragedy.
