The daughter of a former Team New Zealand sail designer has been killed while working in a refugee village in India.
Hope Louise Ickert was apparently electrocuted after touching live wires on August 14, The New Zealand Herald reported today.
The 17-year-old died in the hostel of a catering college in Sivakasi in southern India in what her mother Hannah Ickert said was a "completely accidental" incident.
Hope's father Mickey Ickert was part of the winning 1995 America's Cup challenger Team New Zealand as the downwind sail designer.
The family, who are awaiting an inquest into the death, collected her body last week and took her to Parnell in Auckland where a funeral will be held today.
