A seven-year-old British boy has died in a skiing accident in the French Alps, according to reports.
The child, who had been on a family holiday in the resort of Flaine in France's Haute Savoie region, went over a cliff after straying off piste, emergency services told news agency AFP.
He is believed to have taken a wrong turn on Friday after asking his mother if he could make the last descent of the day on his own, AFP reports.
An emergency services spokesman said: "He hit a rocky outcrop, then fell 50 to 100 metres (160ft to 320ft)."
The child had earlier been skiing in a family group.
His desperate mother raised the alarm at 7pm on Friday after the boy did not turn up as expected.
The child's body was found by a rescue helicopter, about two hours after the fall, according to reports in French media.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We can confirm the death of a British national in Flaine, France, on April 10.
"We are providing consular assistance to the family at this difficult time."
An investigation is under way.
