Sad end: missing Berlin hiker on Corsica found dead

Korsika, Frankreich - A tragic incident occurred in Corsica, where a 50-year-old hiker from Berlin, who had been missing since May 1, was found dead. According to bnn.de was the man alone on a mountain hiking trail when he was seen last time. The family immediately alerted the authorities, which resulted in an extensive search. However, this was discontinued on May 16 due to bad weather.

The family of the missing then started a fundraiser to continue the search privately. Unfortunately, the hiker was discovered around a month after his disappearance by a mountain guide in the high mountain range of the island. Prosecutor Jean-Philippe Navarre confirmed that it was the missing man.
