SANTIAGO (AFP) - A Belgian holiday-maker who fell into a geyser while taking a photo in Chile died Thursday, a hospital source said.
The woman, 68-year-old Francoise Guillaume, was traveling in northern Chile with her husband when she accidentally backed into the geyser last Friday, say police.
"She died this morning at dawn," said a source at the hospital in Santiago where she was taken after the accident.
The incident occurred in the northern region of Antofagasta, where thousands of tourists each year visit the Tatio geothermal geysers.
