Dutch Prince Johan Friso has died after
nearly a year and a half in a coma following
a skiing accident in Austria, officials say.
Friso, who was 44, was moved from hospital
in London back to the Netherlands last
month, but had since suffered
complications. He was hit by an avalanche in February 2012
and buried for 15 minutes. King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima
are said to be on their way home from a
holiday in Greece. “Prince Friso died from complications as a
result of oxygen shortages during his ski
accident on February 17, 2012,” a royal
palace statement said. He died on Monday morning in The Hague,
the palace added. His wife, Princess Mabel, is said to have
spent her 45th birthday on Sunday at his
bedside.
