The remains of 37-year-old Esther Dingley were found by her boyfriend Daniel Colegate not far from where some bone fragments were found two weeks ago. According to the family it was an accident
the body of the British Esther Dingley was found, disappeared last November in the Pyrenees, on the border between Spain and France, during a solo trek. The 37-year-old was found by her boyfriend Daniel Colegate, who found the body not far from where some fragments of bones had been found two weeks ago. Colegate, says the BCC, from April to today he has traveled hundreds of kilometers on the trails in the area in search of his partner. Dingley’s family believes the accident is the most likely hypothesis. The woman, who was an experienced hiker, was supposed to make a loop around the Pic de Sauvegarde located at 2,738 meters above sea level, and spend a night at the Port de Vnasque refuge.
By camper in Spain
The woman had arrived by camper in Spain at the end of October from France, before the second lockdown decided by Paris, thinking she would find more favorable conditions for an excursion to the Iberian Peninsula where the most restrictive anti-Covid measures had not yet been decided. He hadn’t given any more news after a WhatsApp message on November 22nd. The companion had given the alarm and the searches had begun on both sides of the Pyrenees.
On the road for six years
A fragment of bones had been found in late July at a mountain trail in Bagnres-de-Luchon and had been confidently attributed to Dingley thanks to the DNA test. The remains of his body were found on Monday afternoon. The two had been traveling all over Europe with the camper for six years. They had decided to drop everything in 2014, in the aftermath of a surgical operation during which Colegate had risked his life. In the fall, Dingley had decided to go on a solo excursion because he had found temporary employment in France, as a keeper of a house in a vineyard in Gascony.
