The case is continuously updated.
– There is every reason to believe that it is one of the missing, says operations manager Svein Valland Laupsa in the police at a press conference Saturday night about the discovery of the person.
It was in Steindalselva, in the middle of the day on Saturday, that the person was found.
The person has not been identified, and relatives have been notified.
Dronesøk
It was in connection with a drone search that an observation was made of what looked like a person in the river.
– On that basis, crews were requested from the fire service. They went down to the person who was lying in the river, and he was dead, Laupsa says.
The police continue with drone searches to be able to find the missing.
Kjell Arne Pedersen (64), Nils Johan Bårdsen (72) and Ruth Wathne (68) are missed and presumed dead after Sunday night tried to cross the Tokagjelselva in a small boat just over a large waterfall with a fall of 15 meters.
Since then, large crews have been searching for them.
