Padang, West Sumatra. A 71-year-old Norwegian man was found dead in the Nagari Pangkalan River on Friday, after reportedly falling off a bridge while cycling.

Residents of Nagari Pangkalan in Limapuluh Kota regency discovered the body of Kieland Gabriel Wilhelm floating in the river. His bicycle was found nearby, leading authorities to suspect he fell from a 2.5-meter-high bridge while cycling.

Andi Wijaya, a rescuer with the Padang Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas), said local residents spotted the body while heading to their fields early in the morning and immediately alerted authorities.
