A major operation took place at Lake Constance after a man alerted police: a woman had gone overboard on a ferry. SWR reports that nine boats, drones and a search dog were then deployed. The operation lasted several hours.

Shortly after the emergency call, investigators found a body in the lake. Die Zeit reports that the identity of the deceased remains unclear so far. Police are currently examining whether the body found is connected to the reported incident on the ferry.

Autopsy and investigations planned

In the morning, investigators announced they would examine a possible autopsy of the body to gain more clarity about the cause of death and identity. Die Welt reports that investigations are underway to clarify the exact sequence of events. Whether it was an accident, suicide or third-party involvement remains open.

Police are asking witnesses who observed the incident on the ferry or can provide further information about the deceased to come forward. Investigations are ongoing.
