A British skier witnessed a tragic accident in which his younger brother and a close childhood friend fell to their death in the French Alps..
Richard Parsons said Sunday he is resigning from the board of directors of CBS Corp. due to health reasons, less than one month after being appointed interim chairman. An investigation has been opened into the accident. Experienced skier Oscar Cassagneau-Francis and his friend Rajen Mahendra, both 26, Mr Cassagneau-Francis’ older brother Oliver Phillipe, 28, also a keen skier, saw one of the men fall at around 11.40am on Sunday.He managed to raise the alarm with the piste patrollers who then radioed the mountain police in a desperate bid to find the pair alive.It is not known if the second skier fell while Oliver Phillipe was calling for help but he told rescuers he did not see the second fatal fall.Mr Cassagneau-Francis had been on several skiing trips, but the weather conditions on the 1700 metre high Le Couloir Du Chapeau, a steep section of the famous Grands Montets ski area, were said to be perilous, despite the glorious sunshine.Friends of Dr Cassagneau-Francis have paid tribute to him.A spokeswoman for the men’s tour operator Inghams said: "We are working closely with local authorities in Chamonix, France, and the British Consulate, following the fatal accident involving two skiers.
Our thoughts are with the family and friends of our guests at this difficult time.”According to police, there was evidence that other skiers had skied the slope in previous days.The bodies of the two men were retrieved from the mountain by helicopter and police have opened an investigation into the tragedy.
All these factors mean I would not have skied that couloir on Sunday.
