“The search continued again on Sunday morning with the participation of dog handlers and this time with the help of a drone. In the afternoon, the service dog marked a place about 800 meters below the Old Mountain, almost two kilometers from the place of overturning, where the body of the missing was wedged between the tree trunks. The body remains of a 62-year-old man of Czech nationality were rescued from the river by mountain rescuers and firefighters and handed over to members of the police, “added the Mountain Rescue Service.
