Skier dies at Schumacher crash resort

Dec.21 - A skier has died after falling at the Meribel resort in France, where Michael Schumacher also famously crashed at the end of 2013.

Britain's Telegraph newspaper said a 17-year-old who - like the seven time world champion - was wearing a helmet at the time, crashed after skiing too fast down a slope.

He reportedly suffered multiple facial and internal injuries and medics in the rescue helicopter could not revive him.
