A 71-yr-old businessman reportedly slipped and fell from a 150-meter cliff while hiking with relatives in the Montserrat caves near Barcelona, according to a police spokesperson.
His family called emergency services around 12:30 PM local time, as reported by the Spanish newspaper El PaÃs.
Despite the prompt dispatch of a helicopter and an ambulance, responders confirmed his death upon arriving at the scene of the accident.
He was believed to be the richest man in Catalonia and one of the wealthiest individuals in Spain, with Forbes estimating his net worth at $4.5 billion (£3.6 billion).
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez expressed his condolences to Mr. Andic’s family in a post on X, praising the businessman for his significant contributions: “All my love and recognition for his great work and business vision, which has turned this Spanish firm into a world leader in fashion.”
Mango’s CEO, Toni Ruiz, stated in a comment that Mr. Andic’s death was “unexpected.”
