British family's death certificate struggle after son dies in Nepal plane crash

The dad of a British professional ballet dancer who was among the 72 people tragically killed in a plane crash has shared 'struggle' of getting his son's death certificate in the UK.

Ruan Crighton from Brentwood, Essex, was one of 72 people on board the Yeti Airlines Flight 691 from Nepalese capital Kathmandu to the tourist town of Pokhara.

The 34-year-old died when the ATR 72 plane crashed in the gorge of the Seti River - just over a kilometre from the airport in Pokhara - earlier this year. An inquest into his death yesterday (April 18), heard that though a British investigation into the crash had been completed, another air accident investigation in French was still underway.
