Police have recovered the video card from a camera that may have recorded events leading to the death of a woman who fell from a hang-glider in British Columbia, Canada.
Lenami Godinez-Avila, 27, tumbled out of her harness only seconds after take-off. Witnesses said the young woman fell 300m to her death.
Hang-glider pilot Jon Orders has been held in custody following allegations that he swallowed the video card that recorded the incident. Police said in court that x-rays showed the card was inside Orders' body.
"We have processes in place in order to try and extract what's been on the card that will not be further discussed at the moment," said Constable Tracy Wolbeck.
Jason Warner, safety officer for the Hang Gliders and Paragliders Association of Canada, said Orders told him he knew something was wrong almost immediately and tried desperately to hang on to the woman, who clung to his body and then slipped down his legs, taking one of Orders' shoes with her.
