It was the family who contacted the police on Thursday when he had not appeared since he was last seen on Wednesday afternoon. On Saturday afternoon, the police reported that the person in question had been found earlier in the day. – A discovery was made this morning in the search area, operations manager at the police in Innlandet, Atle Bernhoft von Obstfelder, tells news. The man was confirmed dead at the scene by health personnel. The next of kin have been notified. There has been rough terrain with a lot of vegetation, so it has been a demanding task for the search crews.

It has been decided that the person in question will be autopsied, says von Obstfelder. During the search operation, a helicopter and drone were deployed.
