On Monday, the Grisons police found a man dead in the Crap la Pala area. He had previously been reported missing.

At 8.30 pm on Sunday, the Graubünden cantonal police received a report that a 79-year-old man was missing in Davos. A night-time emergency search for him was unsuccessful.

A helicopter crew then found the man's body on Monday south of Crap la Pala in the municipality of Vaz/Obervaz GR. According to initial findings, the man, who was out and about looking for crystals and minerals, was caught by a slipping slab of rock on sloping terrain.

The police, together with the Graubünden public prosecutor's office, are now clarifying the exact circumstances that led to the death.
