Seaweed suspected in French death
  
French investigators are examining whether a lorry driver has become the first victim of a toxic seaweed that is clogging parts of the Brittany coast.
The driver died in July after carrying three truckloads of sea lettuce away from the beaches where it has been decaying, releasing poisonous gas.
His death was originally recorded as a heart attack but prosecutors want to know if it was linked to the seaweed.
