Crash survivor dies

THE only member of a top Russian ice hockey team to survive a plane crash that killed 44 people died yesterday of his injuries in a Moscow hospital. The Vishnevsky Hospital said 26-year-old Alexander Galimov died of the severe burns that covered about 90 percent of his body. The crash last Wednesday of a chartered Yak-42 jet outside the western city of Yaroslavl took the lives of 37 players, coaches and staff of the local Lokomotiv Yaroslavl ice hockey club. Unlike many other members of Lokomotiv who were European Union citizens and once played in the National Hockey League, Galimov was a native of Yaroslavl and a product of its youth program.
