According to the Bulgarian Red Cross, 29-year-old Aidan Bergin was part of a group taking photographs when he lost his balance and fell from a considerable height
Aidan Bergin, 29, from Kylemore, Clonea, Dungarvan, Co Waterford is understood to have been seriously injured after falling into a gully near the Todorka mountain peak in Bulgaria which is a hugely popular ski resort on January 28.
Due to difficulties with a helicopter, it took rescuers an hour to move the Irishman from the spot where he fell and bring him to hospital in the nearby town of Razlog. Dr Valentin Belchev said: "Life-saving measures were taken, and a full assessment of his injuries was carried out. But despite all efforts of our medical team, he eventually succumbed to his grave injuries."
