Two bodies have been discovered in Lake Constance within one day. Three kayakers discovered a lifeless body in the water between Hard in the Austrian district of Bregenz and Lindau on Saturday evening and raised the alarm, the Austrian police reported on Sunday. Water police, water rescue and the fire department recovered a male body. They were initially unable to provide any information about the identity or the circumstances of death.
Body handed over to German authorities
A few hours earlier, a female boater had discovered a dead man in Lake Constance and alerted the police. His body was recovered by the Austrian fire department. A spokesman for the water police said that the body was handed over to the German authorities because the place where the body was found was on German territory off the mouth of the New Rhine.
The police do not believe that any of the bodies found are connected to a search operation on Friday near Lustenau on the Austrian-Swiss border. Pieces of clothing had been found on the shore there. This can largely be ruled out due to the clothing on the bodies, said the spokesman.
