The man is struck to death by lightning as he poses with his fiancée in China

A man in China died after being struck by lightning as he posed with his fiancée during their engagement at a popular tourist point.

The terrible incident took place on Wednesday 24 August at China's Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Yunnan province.

The man, who was appointed as Rwanda by Chinese media, died shortly after the lightning was struck, while photographers were photographing him and his partner in Spruce Meadow.

Before the lightning struck, Chinese authorities issued a weather warning, the third largest in the country's weather system.

The couple decided to continue with the planned phototype despite the warning.

Emergency services went to the scene and were photographed holding the man in torrential rain, broadcasting Clankosova.tv.
