A British tourist who died in Argentina has been named as David Minn.
The local civil defence said the 24-year-old’s body was discovered on a mountainous hiking trail near the city of Ushuaia, close to the Esmeralda Lagoon.
Defensa Civil Ushuaia said it was an area popular with tourists, and it is believed Mr Minn may have fallen.
