A groom-to-be has died after being struck by lightning as he was posing for engagement photos at a popular tourist spot.
The tragedy happened on Wednesday at China’s Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the Yunnan province.
The man- who has been named by local media as Ruan – was hit by a lightning bolt during a wedding photoshoot with his fiancée at the Spruce Meadow, a popular scenic spot.
He was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead, South China Morning Post reported.
The local weather authority had issued a thunder and lightning yellow alert – the third highest under China’s four-tier warning system – about half an hour before the lightning struck.
Despite the thunderstorm, the couple decided to go ahead with their planned photoshoot.
Those standing close to the victim remained unharmed.
