Team Rules Out Recovery of Laura Dahlmeier's Remains After Fresh Review

Her management says a reassessment last week determined a retrieval will not go ahead.

Overview

  • The statement reverses morning reports that a recovery team was en route, which had cited Pakistani guide Kaleem Shani and were carried by multiple outlets.
  • AFP reported that local tour organizers had no knowledge of any active recovery mission, and Shani later said his earlier information was incorrect.
  • Management said a team reviewed the situation at Laila Peak in recent days and concluded that her body will not be recovered, without detailing the reasons.
  • German alpinist Thomas Huber took part in the latest on-site evaluation, according to ARD’s South Asia bureau.
  • Dahlmeier had left written instructions not to be retrieved if rescuers would be endangered, and while a future recovery remains uncertain, no operation is currently planned.
