One of the three people missing since Friday evening after a landslide in the Misox valley in Graubünden was found dead in a river on Sunday. A search is still underway for two other missing persons.

This was announced by the police at a media conference in Roveredo GR on Sunday. However, the chances of finding them alive are minimal, said William Kloter, head of operations for the Graubünden cantonal police.

The relatives of the male body found dead on Sunday have been informed by the police, he added. It was "very sad", Kloter continued. An attempt had been made to assess where the missing persons might be, and the search area had been set up accordingly. During the course of the morning, Alpine Rescue found the dead man in the river.

At the media conference, Kloter called on people not to set off in search of other missing persons. "We don't want to mourn any more victims." The search for the other missing persons continues. "We hope that we can be successful there too. "
