Attempts to help him with a life ring failed, and the man went under. 45 divers searched for the man during the night, and dozens of emergency personnel continued the search on Sunday until it was called off around noon.

Meanwhile, investigations into the exact course of the accident are ongoing. The public prosecutor's office has secured the raft, which can be booked by private individuals. It is now being examined by an expert.
