Missing for hours
84-year-old man found dead in forest
A man was found dead in a wooded area in Carinthia. A son raised the alarm the evening before.
The son raised the alarm because his father had not returned from his forest tour on Thursday evening. He had set off to mark the boundary of his forest. A search operation was launched immediately.
"We were able to pinpoint an approximate location using a cell phone", explains Bernhard Pichler-Koban from the Villach Mountain Rescue Service. On Friday morning, the sad certainty: the man was found dead by the dog rescue team. The 84-year-old succumbed to his injuries at the scene. The exact cause of the accident is still unclear.
The police helicopter flew the casualty back to the valley by means of de-icing.
