A 65-year-old woman died Friday after being struck by lightning in Gørlev, West Zealand. The incident occurred at approximately 3:43 PM when police received a report of the event.

The woman was found near a tree, which authorities believe was struck by lightning while she was sitting beneath it. A nearby resident reported hearing two loud bangs and discovered the charred tree and the woman.

Police indicate the woman may have been seeking shelter under the tree to observe the water. She sustained injuries consistent with lightning strikes.

The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) recorded six lightning strikes in Kalundborg Municipality, where Gørlev is located, around 2:00 PM on Friday. The woman’s family has been notified.
