A Styrian missing since the weekend is no longer alive. The man was found dead in a stream bed.

A 61-year-old Upper Styrian missing since Sunday was found dead in a stream bed on Thursday. Relatives had informed the police, who initiated a search operation in the Hohentauern area (Murtal district). Up to 70 emergency personnel combed the area, supported by a helicopter, a drone, and search dogs. An autopsy was initiated to clarify the cause of death, but foul play is not suspected, the state police directorate reported.

Police informed on Wednesday

The relatives informed the police on Wednesday afternoon after they had no contact with the 61-year-old since Sunday noon. Around 40 emergency personnel from the police, mountain rescue, fire brigade, and the Murtal alpine police began a search, which was called off at nightfall. On Thursday, the search continued with about 70 emergency personnel. Shortly before 10:00 a.m., the missing person was finally discovered lifeless in a stream bed near his residence.
