Summary
Emergency crews were called around 13:30 local time on Wednesday to Palau de Noguera, near Tremp, where a 63-year-old British paraglider was found seriously injured and later died.
Three fire brigades and two medical teams gave first aid at the scene, while Catalonia's Mossos d'Esquadra deployed five citizen security and investigation units.
Local media said the man may have become tangled in power lines before hitting the ground, but officials have not confirmed the cause.
The UK Foreign Office said it was supporting the family; the crash happened near Àger, a well-known paragliding and hang-gliding area on the edge of the Pyrenees.
