Andersson's corpse was found near a split cypress tree by a
receptionist of a hotel where the Swede stayed. The receptionist
immediately called the police.
The cause of the death was established by an autopsy which Split
forensic experts carried out, a spokesman for the Split police,
Leon Tauber, said on Tuesday night.
Andersson arrived in Split with his wife Lillian.
Before the outbreak of the thunderstorm he was on a beach and as soon
as it started raining he left it. While he was coming back to the
hotel, he was struck by the thunderbolt.
