Στο πένθος βυθίστηκε το 102 Συνέδριο της ΑΗΕΡΑ από το θάνατο του πρώην Ύπατου Προέδρου της Φίλιππου Φράγκου

Στο πένθος βύθισε την οικογένεια της ΑΗΕΡΑ ο απροσδόκητος θάνατος, το πρωι του Σαββάτου πριν από λίγο, στην Κύπρο του πρώην Ύπατου Προέδρου της Οργάνωσης Φίλιπ Φράγκος  (1940)- (Phillip T. Frangos).

Ο εκλιπών είχε εκλεγεί Ύπατος Πρόεδρος της ΑΗΕΡΑ το 2014, at Supreme Convention in New Orleans (2014-2015).  Ευρίσκετο στην Κύπρο συμμετέχοντας στο 102 Συνέδριο της ΑΗΕΡΑ το οποίο για πρώτη φορά φέτος έγινε στη Μεγαλόνησο.

Οι εργασίες του Συνεδρίου ολοκληρώθηκαν χθες Παρασκευή και οι Σύνεδροι Μέλη της ΑΗΕΡΑ  είχαν αρχίσει ήδη να αποχωρούν από την Κύπρο επιστρέφοντας στη βάση τους.

Σύμφωνα με δημοσιογραφικές πληροφορίες ο εκλιπών είχε λάβει πρωϊνό. Λίγο μετά ένιωσε δυσφορία και επέστρεψε στο δωμάτιό του όπου και μετ΄ολίγον κατέληξε.
