Briton found dead in crashed glider

A British pilot reported missing in the French Alps has been found dead in the debris of his crashed glider, the prosecutor for the Gap region said.

Mountain rescue had been alerted late Friday to the disappearance of the 69-year-old, who had taken off earlier that day from the Serres La Bâtie aerodrome. Rescuers found the body on Saturday at a mountain summit near Val-des-pres.
