Whilst being retrieved today after a 70.3km magic flight, I spoke to a police officer who recovered He's body and who also received the results of the autopsy today.

He Zhongpin was killed by a lightening strike.  According to the police officer, his maximum altitude was 5800m.

And to think that the day before the comp, a local was explaining to me that I could not be killed by a lightening strike in the air - that I had to be earthed to the ground. I guess we know better now......
