A large number of emergency services were deployed on Wednesday evening in a search for a missing elderly man in Altmünster (Upper Austria). But it ended tragically: after two and a half hours, the 83-year-old was found drowned.
At around 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Gmunden police received a message that the 83-year-old was missing. The man has not been found since 6 p.m. The missing person had left his home address on foot. A large-scale search was launched with fire brigades, rescue dogs and police helicopters. The search was expanded with 70 ground troops from the Altmünster, Eben-Nachdemsee, Neukirchen, Reindlmühl and Traunkirchen fire brigades, eight dog handlers from the rescue dog brigade and the Red Cross and three drone operators from the Red Cross.
Unfortunately, help came too late
At around 4 a.m., the missing person was found lifeless in a pond about 200 meters from his home address.
