Keith McIntosh, 36, had just set off down Austria's Kaunertaler glacier on Tuesday when he triggered a massive snowfall.
Rescue workers found him buried under six feet of snow and rocks.

Full story here.

Looks like he was found, dug out but died a short time later :(

It's when you hear about stuff like this that it confirms that life can be short. Make the most of what time you have and do all the things you love to do with the people you love to be with.
Thoughts go out to his wife and family

well if you're time is up i suppose there's worse ways to go, great shame for his family though.

I would have got away with it if it wasn't for those pesky kids!
