They said preliminary post-mortem examination results showed He Zhongpin, 42, had been struck by lightning after being sucked into the storm cell last Wednesday. His body was found the next day 75 km from where he had taken off. 

German paraglider Ewa Wisnierska survived the ordeal despite being encased in ice as she was carried up to 30,000 feet -- higher than Mount Everest -- while flying her parachute-like canopy.
