Briton Carolyn Dewdney dies paragliding in Tenerife

A British woman has died while paragliding on the Spanish island of Tenerife after suffering a suspected heart attack.

Carolyn Dewdney, from Cheltenham, crashed on Tuesday in an area to the south of the island.

The 53-year-old is said to have been very experienced.

Mrs Dewdney, who is thought to have worked at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, had been flying with her husband Nigel.

The Foreign Office confirmed Mrs Dewdney died on 12 November and said it was "providing consular assistance at this difficult time".

It is understood the couple had been on a week-long paragliding holiday and were flying in a group in the mountainous area of Adeje when she became ill.
