BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA — An Argentine official is identifying the fourth climber to die in a week on Aconcagua mountain as a 42-year-old Briton.
Aconcagua Park chief Pablo Perello says the man apparently suffered a heart attack just steps from the summit on Friday.
He spoke to reporters today.
An Italian climber and an Argentine guide died earlier this week on the Andean mountain after being caught in a blizzard Wednesday.
Three other Italians in that party were rescued by helicopter and treated at a hospital for hypothermia and other maladies. A doctor told Clarin newspaper two may need amputations.
A German man also perished on Jan. 3 while climbing the 22,841-foot mountain, the highest in the Americas.
