A Frenchman, Jean-Luc Josuat-Verges, 48, was lost in a labyrinth of disused mushroom caves at Madiran in the Pyrenees in December. He survived 35 days by eating rotten wood and clay. He went to the deserted caves seeking isolation during a spell of depression which had left him considering suicide.
He was found by three children who were out of school because of a teachers strike. The children alerted police who rescued Josuat-Verges from the caves. French media said he had lost 18 kg (40 lb) and was "weak".
