Brit man, 88, killed alongside his dog in Cyprus as car bursts into flames

An 88-year-old British pensioner died in a car fire in Avgorou, southwest Cyprus, along with his dog. The incident occurred when the man's vehicle became stuck in mud, prompting him to attempt to free it. Sparks from the effort ignited dry reeds, causing a fire that engulfed the car. The man was traveling to an animal shelter with his dog and a carer. While the carer escaped and called for help, the man was found outside the car after the fire was put out, indicating he had tried to flee the flames. His body was discovered next to the vehicle, and a post-mortem confirmed he died from burns. Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident.
