They have managed to keep their heads cool and their hearts warm, and have taken care of the students in the best possible way. Was distanced from the tour group – The boy was on a trip with his family and at one point when there was a distance between him and at least the adults in the tour group, he fell off this cliff, said police investigative leader Arild Austrheim to news Saturday. Austerheim emphasizes that the police have no reason to believe that it is anything other than a tragic fall accident. It was raining in the area when the accident happened, so one hypothesis is that the boy may have slipped on the surface. The main rescue center sent out the rescue helicopter to assist in the rescue operation on Saturday. Photo: Leif Sirevåg – What do the police do next? – Now we look at it a bit. The most important thing is that the next of kin are taken care of, and then we will probably carry out a few more interviews and possible interrogations later in the week, but as of now there are no urgent tasks, says the police chief.
