00:00Was his death simply a tragic accident?
00:04A French traveler's sudden death during a cultural visit to northern Chad has left his travel group in shock.
00:10The 70-year-old man, identified as Paul Ferreri, went missing on Wednesday and was found dead in the desert
00:17on Friday.
00:18He had reportedly gone on a hike.
00:20It's a tragic accident, but I'll be completely honest with you, I don't think Chad has much to do with
00:28it.
00:30In other words, it's an accident that could have happened to anyone, at any time and probably at any age.
00:36As long as you're hiking, as long as you're climbing slopes and scree slopes.
00:41I do a lot of hiking, I know that it's potentially dangerous.
00:49Ferreri's body was found on the foot of a mountain in the Gelta de Bershikile area, an oasis.
00:56The little information I have is that Paul probably took roughly the same route as my group,
01:03though not at the same time and not exactly in the same place,
01:06until he parted ways with the companion with whom he had set out walking.
01:13Ferreri is reported to have fallen to his death, according to Chadian authorities.
01:20They also said that he had gone on the hike without a guide.
01:26The French travel group he was with is leaving Chad from N'Djamina Military Airport.
