From Sil
"The deceased was 60 year old Paul Anthony, a native of Nottingham. He was cycling with a friend, also British, and said that he was feeling unwell and got off his bike. He collapsed on the road.
His companion alerted SOS-Navarra who tried for half an hour resuscitate him but he did not responded. The Diario Navarre report states that the cause of death could be a heart attack, Because, "according to preliminary investigations the deceased had suffered an episode of this nature ten years ago.""
