Sad certainty
Missing hiker (77) lay dead in a stream bed
The search for a missing German man (77) in the Lechtal Alps in Tyrol came to a tragic end on Tuesday afternoon. The man could only be found lying dead in a stream bed.
"The man did not return from his tour on Monday, whereupon relatives raised the alarm," Bernhard Schönherr, head of the Pettneu mountain rescue team, told the "Krone".
A search operation was launched on Monday, but had to be interrupted in the late evening hours. On Tuesday, a feverish search for the missing man was then carried out with the help of a drone.
Body flown into the valley
Then, at around 12.45 pm, the sad certainty. The missing man had been found. "He was lying dead in a stream bed in the Schnanner Klamm area," says the mountain rescuer. The body was recovered by the Libelle Tirol police helicopter and flown down into the valley.
