Hundreds of rescuers have been searching for the missing people after massive rainfall in Switzerland's southeast caused a rockslide.
Rescuers in Switzerland have found the body of one of three people who had gone missing on Saturday after massive thunderstorms and rainfall in the country's southeast caused a rockslide, Swiss authorities say. The other two are still missing. One woman was pulled out alive from the rubble earlier on Saturday morning.
A team of 200 rescuers has been searching for the missing people since Saturday with excavators, search dogs, drones and army helicopters. But the likelihood of finding them alive is low, William Kloter from the Swiss police, who is heading the rescue operations, told reporters Sunday. Search operations had to be halted during the night due to heavy rain. The rockslide hit a group of three houses in the municipality of Lostallo in the Alpine valley of Misox in Graubünden.
