In Memory

On 17 February 2012, Prince Friso was buried under an avalanche in Lech, Austria, while skiing off piste.
He was taken to a hospital in Innsbruck where he was in critical but stable condition.

According to his doctor, Dr. Wolfgang Koller, even though he was trapped for a relatively short time and hopes had originally been higher, subsequent neurological tests showed that after fifty minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitiation in moderate hypothermia he suffered massive brain damage due to oxygen shortage.
The prince was in a minimally conscious state and it was unclear whether he would ever regain full consciousness.

Yesterday his wife Mabel Wisse Smit celebrated her 45th birthday aside her husbands sickbed.
Now no 24 hours later, after nearly a year and a half of being in a coma, he died on 12 August 2013.
