The British boss of an investment bank has been killed in a hurricane which has been sweeping across the Caribbean.
Timothy Fraser-Smith, 66, chief executive of Deltec Bank & Trust, fell from the roof of his home in wealthy Lyford Cay a private gated community on the western tip of New Providence Island in the Bahamas as he tried to repair a window shutter.
His death, on Thursday night, was one of 43 across the Caribbean caused by the hurricane that has now been downgraded to a tropical storm.
A spokeswoman for the Foreign Office said: "We can confirm the death of a British national in the Bahamas on October 25."
Mr Fraser-Smith joined Deltec in June 2000 as chief executive, according to the company's website, having worked in many countries. Deltec said he studied law at the University of Edinburgh before gaining an MBA from Cranfield Business School, Bedfordshire.
On Saturday, Sandy spun away from the Bahamas, churning northward towards the US East Coast, where it threatens to join with winter weather fronts to create a superstorm.
In Haiti, the number of people who have died reached 26 on Friday.
With the storm projected to hit the US Atlantic Coast early on Tuesday, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration warned it could merge with two other systems to become a hybrid, monster storm dubbed "Frankenstorm".
