Overview

• Police divers confirmed the presence of a body in Cospudener See on Monday, following its sighting by private divers over the weekend.
• The recovery operation is planned for later on Tuesday, with divers currently preparing for the challenging deep-water retrieval.
• The body was discovered at a depth of 28 meters, limiting diver bottom time and complicating the search and recovery process.
• Authorities suspect the body may belong to a 53-year-old man who disappeared in June 2024, though identification awaits forensic examination.
• The missing man’s belongings were found near the lake last year, and unverified reports suggest he may have attempted suicide using weighted gear.
