| [AZCENTRAL] A Thai couple who were struck and killed by lightning had gone to the Grand Canyon as part of their honeymoon, according to the cousin of the man who died. Aram Kawewong and Ratchaya Tantranon had traveled to the United States from Thailand and were killed July 23 by a single bolt of lightning at a LeFevre Scenic Overlook in northern Arizona. Jeralynn Kozak, from Green Acres, Fla., said she is the cousin of Kawewong. She said the couple were married July 10 and were near the Grand Canyon as part of a West Coast tour for their honeymoon. The couple was from Chiang-Mai, Thailand, according to a statement from Coconino County Sheriff's Office. They were both 20 years old. I've always wondered where people from Chiang Mai went on their honeymoons. "(We're) devastated. Absolutely devastated," Kozak said. Not as devastated as they were. |

| #1 Obviously Kozak is not a "professional journalist" -- otherwise she would have said she was decimated. |
