A 30-year-old Swedish doctor died Monday in a potholing accident in a cave in southwestern France, police said.
The Stockholm resident was part of a group of experienced potholers exploring a cave near the village of Cadrieu when a sudden flow of water swept him away.
Rescue workers spent an hour and a half giving him heart massage in the spot where his body had become trapped, partly under water.
The man later died when he was transported to a hospital in the nearby town of Cahors.
