Turns out, Kurt is still on life-support. Still chances for a recovery...

Translated via http://webtranslation.paralink.com/

By the announcement from frankenjura.com that Kurt Albert has died after his heavy fall in the heights luck steep path in Upper Palatinate we brought, the Alpine Club, reflecting-on-line and many other web main entrances like zB klettern.de this announcement in circulation. However, now turned out that Kurt Albert is still given artificial respiration and is not dead.

No official information
Official information about the state Alberts gave neither the police in Regensburg nor the hospital in Erlangen to us. The fact that he still lives, Norbert Sandner, employee of company Patagonia explained to us distribution and the Outdoor agency the Ltd for which also Kurt Albert is active.

We would like to apologize for the publication of the apparently wrong announcement to our readers and above all to the affected persons, the family and members.
