ISRAEL TOURIST
DIES IN PERU

Times of Israel — Peruvian authorities
are said to be delaying the release of the
body of an Israeli tourist who died in the
country on Thursday, angering the Israeli
Foreign Ministry and the bereaved fam-
ily of the tourist.
Shira Roth, 21, from Jerusalem was
traveling in the South American country
with a friend and the friend’s mother
when she reportedly fell ill after taking
part in a trek to a mountain almost 5
kilometers high.
She was found lifeless on a bus on
Thursday. Her death was apparently a
result of altitude sickness during a three-
day trek in the Huaraz region.
Local authorities were demanding an
autopsy, a demand Israel and her family
have refused, according to Israeli reports.
Israeli Foreign Ministry officials were
working to receive the body so Roth can
be returned to her family in Israel for
burial. Talks between Israeli officials and
Peruvian authorities have yet to yield
results, Israel Radio reported Sunday.

situation by the Peruvians as unaccept-
able, even outrageous. There is a limit to

how much a grieving family can wait,”
a foreign ministry official told Ynet on
Sunday.
According to the Ynet report, local
authorities were insisting on further
investigation into the death.
Roth was the second Israeli tourist
who died in Peru in March.
Earlier in the month an Israeli tourist
was killed while on an extreme adven-
ture ride in Cusco.
The man, identified as Orel Guetta, 24,
of Kfar Saba, apparently fell to his death
after a cable came loose on the “Tarzan”
pendulum attraction, which swings rid-
ers along a canyon from a harness 100
meters in the air. Medics were unable to
save Guetta, who suffered severe injuries
in the accident.
