Holiday Briton plunges to her death as she tries to take picture of a grasshopper on cliff edge
Freak accident: Kathryn Williamson-Stockwell, 54, fell off a peak in Bulgaria as she tried to snap a grasshopper
A British woman plunged to her death from a cliff as she tried to take a picture of a grasshopper during a holiday in Bulgaria.
Kathryn Williamson-Stockwell lost her footing and tripped over the edge of the peak as she lined up the photo.
Minutes earlier, her husband Trefor had warned her to be careful because the mountain - although beautiful - was renowned as a dangerous spot for walkers.
Mr Williamson-Stockwell, a writer and teacher from Anglesey, described the horrific moment he saw his wife, 54, disappear before his eyes.
'Kathryn and I had been up the cliff just days before the accident,' he said.
'She had been taking photographs of butterflies and the beautiful waterfall and wanted to go back up again. She saw a grasshopper and was trying to get a picture of it.
'I warned her to be careful but suddenly she shifted her position, lost her footing and fell. It was so high, she just disappeared into nothing. I was frantically calling her name.'
He added: 'I keep reliving that awful moment. It plays over and over in my mind. I don't know what I'm going to do now.'

You can't teach experience...
It seems strange that he let her get so close to the edge that she could fall off so easily. Maybe he lured her there with the promise of grasshoppers and then just shoved her off the cliff.

hmm, we'll leave it to the forensics to figure that out...

talk about a freak accident....
Its not like she was being stupid. She was just a little clumsy.
I climbed Mont Blanc back in 2004 with three other experienced climbers and two professional guides. As we came down from the summit we saw two people fall. One was a British woman who was roped to her guide. They both died all because of a little stumble.
Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about
maybe the grasshopper was doing an amazing trick that's why she fancied snapping a photo... lol may she rest in peace..
