A lifeless man was rescued from the Rhine in Basel on Friday afternoon. The rescue services had been alerted around two hours earlier, according to the Basel cantonal police.

Shortly after 1 p.m., the cantonal police received a report that a man had fallen into the Rhine at the Tinguely Museum, fallen into the water and never resurfaced. After two hours, the rescue services rescued a lifeless male person from the Rhine just 150 meters from the entry point.

The Basel-Stadt public prosecutor's office is clarifying whether it is the missing person, according to the press release.
