A British woman has died weeks after being trapped in a wildfire in southern Spain, her family said. Lisa Fryett, from Essex and described as a mother of three, was caught in the blaze along with her partner, Simon Batchelor, while they were staying near Bédar and Los Gallardos. Multiple outlets report that the couple suffered life-threatening injuries after the fire moved through the area. They were hospitalised following their rescue from a mountainside the day after the wildfire began, according to one account. While Fryett later died, Batchelor remains in critical condition in hospital. The reports describe the incident as occurring after the wildfire started on 9 July, with the fire affecting neighbourhoods around Los Gallardos. Several sources identify the couple as being from Canvey Island, Essex, and say Batchelor is still receiving treatment. The reports do not provide further details on the cause of the couple’s injuries or the current status of the wildfire, but they are consistent in stating that Fryett has died and Batchelor is critically ill following the rescue.
