A climber from West Sussex has died after plunging 2,000ft from a Swiss mountain.
Phillip O' Sullivan, of Midhurst, and Matthew Hayes, 31, of Hampshire, were trying to scale the notorious 5,905 ft north face of the Eiger.
Police said a Channel 4 crew filming a documentary nearby captured the fall on video.
The camera crew gave police a copy of their tape to help investigate the accident.
The Swiss newspaper SonntagsBlick reported that the accident occurred last Tuesday afternoon in warm, sunny weather.
Mr Hayes, the lead climber, lost his grip and pulled Mr O'Sullivan, who was tied to him by a rope, after him. They nearly fell 2,000ft. Their bodies were recovered on Wednesday.
