CAIRO, Feb 26 (Aswat Masriya) The four Egyptians who were found dead last week in Sinai’s St Catherine mountains died a natural death due to the extreme cold weather, a forensic report said.

Eight Egyptians were on a hiking trip when they were hit by an ice storm last week that caused the death of four of them.

The hikers died before Monday, before the call for help was made, a medical source in southern Sinai told Aswat Masriya.
