Hiker's wilderness adventure ends in tragedy at popular park destination
An Illinois man died after falling while hiking at a state park in New York. The 70-year-old tourist, Jack Wersching, was hiking in the Kaaterskill Wild Forest in the Catskills on the evening of Friday, June 20, when he fell from a rock ledge onto stone steps below, according to a statement from New York State Police. Wersching, of Park Ridge, Illinois, was walking along a path near a waterfall when the incident occurred. Park rangers responded quickly to the scene and attempted to stabilize him for an airlift to a hospital, but he died at the scene. "DEC sends our condolences to the hiker's family, and thanks the first responders for their efforts," the Department of Environmental Conservation said in a statement, adding that it was investigating. A witness to the accident told the New York Post that he recalled hearing cries for help and finding Wersching badly injured. Shilo Shalom, who had briefly met Wersching and his family earlier in the day while hiking, told the outlet he had attempted to assist by using shirts to stem the bleeding. "I just tried to save him, and I couldn't," Shalom told the outlet. Wersching's family also shared a statement with the Post and described him as a "loving husband, father, and grandfather, remembering him as someone who approached life with curiosity and a sense of adventure." "Though we are devastated by this loss, we take comfort in knowing he was doing something he truly loved when he passed," Wersching's family said in the statement.

Sir Keir Starmer says his sister-in-law could have been killed when his house was firebombed
SIR KEIR Starmer has said his sister-in-law could have been killed when his house was firebombed. The Prime Minister has revealed his wife's sister was luckily still awake when the alleged arson attack took place in the early hours. 2 Sir Keir told The Observer his family were 'shaken up'. He said: 'She happened to still be awake, so she heard the noise and got the fire brigade. 'But it could have been a different story.' The incident came just hours before he was due to give a press conference, which he considered cancelling due to the impact on his family, including wife Victoria. He said: 'Vic was really shaken up — as, in truth, was I. 'It was just a case of reading the speech and getting through it somehow so I could get back to them.' The blaze in Kentish Town, North London, on May 12 was the most recent of three apparent arson attacks on property and cars linked to the PM. A car was set ablaze on the same street days earlier, and converted flats were targeted in nearby Islington. Three men who have been charged in connection with the attacks will face trial in April next year. Moment flames engulf car outside Keir Starmer's home as man arrested over 'arson' attack on TWO properties linked to PM 2
