Ten years ago, Prince Johan Friso was buried by an avalanche while skiing. A tragic find near the scene of the accident is now reopening old wounds.
Lech – On February 17, 2012, the terrible accident happened that would change the lives of the Dutch royals forever. Prince Johan Friso (44, † 2013) was buried by an avalanche while skiing in Lech am Arlberg, Austria. A year and a half later, Mabel Wisse Smit's husband (53) succumbed to his injuries. An extraordinary discovery is now bringing back the painful memories*.
Prince Johan Friso's life was taken far too early at the age of 44. After being buried by an avalanche while skiing*, it took him 20 minutes to be freed from the masses of snow. The damage to his brain was already irreversible at this point. After further attempts at treatment, King Willem-Alexander's (54) brother finally died in August 2013 at Huis ten Bosch Castle. Friso is survived by his wife Mabel and two daughters, Luana (16) and Zaria (15). Ten years after the avalanche accident, a dramatic find is now making headlines, which is likely to make things difficult for Princess Beatrix (84) and Mabel Wisse Smit. *24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
