Overview

• The man disappeared on Monday after jumping from a rented boat to save his two children, who were brought to safety and are unharmed.
• Divers, boats, a helicopter and the coast guard are involved, with a remotely operated vehicle brought from Sardinia to examine depths beyond 200 meters.
• Authorities have not confirmed his identity; Italian media report he is 55, has Italian roots and lives with his family in Bühl, Baden‑Württemberg.
• Search teams also checked the Valchiavenna area after locals found his parked car, backpack and walking shoes near Uschione, and no mobile‑phone signal has been detected.
• Lake Como’s great depth and strong currents complicate recovery efforts, and forecast storms with top‑level alerts could interrupt the day’s search.
