Overview
- The body of a 63-year-old Munich man who vanished during a dive was located at about 60 meters near the Allmannshauser Steilwand after a multi-day search.
- Police confirmed late Tuesday that a technical dive robot of the Munich Bereitschaftspolizei located the body and recovery work was technically difficult and not yet complete.
- The diver disappeared on Saturday while diving with two companions who lost sight of him and raised the alarm, prompting searches by rescue divers, water-rescue teams, helicopters, sonar and drones.
- Kriminalpolizei Fürstenfeldbruck has taken charge of the investigation, will inspect the diver’s gear and is probing the circumstances of death while reporting no current signs of foul play.
- The Allmannshauser Steilwand drops beyond 70 meters in places and exceeds safe single‑tank compressed‑air limits of about 40 meters, a local hazard that has contributed to past fatal accidents and that investigators will weigh as they review training, equipment and procedures.
