Vilnius -A teenage Scout from the Czech Republic died in Lithuania after a building in which he was sheltering from a rain storm collapsed.
 

The young man died on the morning of what would have been his 19th birthday at Kaunas University Hospital, a spokesperson for the hospital confirmed.

Eleven scouts were injured in the incident on July 25. Most have now returned to the Czech Republic. Two young men were released from hospital on Tuesday, and two young women, the last patients, were due for discharge on Wednesday.

The group of Czech scouts on a cycling tour suffered injuries when a derelict building collapsed on them as they sheltered from heavy rain in Pakapiai, a village near Lithuania's second-largest city, Kaunas.
