German police have identified one of the two bodies recently discovered in Lake Constance. It is a 79-year-old man from Chur in Switzerland, said a spokesman for the Lindau criminal investigation department on Wednesday.
The body was found at the weekend by a boater on Lake Constance near the mouth of the Rhine. The man had been missing since November. According to the spokesperson, the Swiss authorities assumed that he had committed suicide.
The second male body found in the Austrian part of Lake Constance at the weekend has not yet been identified, an Austrian police spokeswoman told the German Press Agency. According to the police, the autopsy has so far only revealed that the man probably did not die through no fault of his own. The exact cause of death and the identity are now to be clarified by further investigations.
