Death of a titan of French radio and TV: Emmanuel Macron pays tribute to Philippe Bouvard
After an illustrious career spanning more than six decades – for which he holds a world record – beloved French cultural figure Philippe Bouvard has died aged 95. President Emmanuel Macron has paid tribute to “a free spirit”.
A 68-year-old French tourist, Pierre Michel Formosa, has tragically died in Death Valley after his car became stuck in mud during extreme heat conditions. On a recent visit with his traveling companion, Formosa's vehicle became immobilized on West Side Road. In an attempt to seek assistance, the pair walked across the salt flats but, due to the extreme heat, Formosa was unable to continue after just 1.3 miles.
Tragically, he was found by rangers and police later that afternoon and was pronounced dead at the scene. Death Valley's Superintendent, Mike Reynolds, expressed his condolences to Formosa's family and highlighted the dangers posed by the park's heat, vast distances, and remoteness. The current extreme heat warning remains in effect, making this a grim reminder of the potential dangers tourists face in such harsh environments.
