What happened, for context

Claire Lomas, a paraplegic charity campaigner and marathon fundraiser, died in a microlight crash in Jordan on 15 July 2024 while filming a series for Apple's Vision Pro headset. She was paralysed from the chest down following a horse-riding accident in 2007. An inquest heard testimony that Atlantic Productions was commissioned by Apple to create the series.
