The search for an 80-year-old man from San Venanzo, who suffers from Alzheimer's, has ended tragically. His body was discovered in the municipality of Umbertide following an extensive search operation.
The man had been missing since last Thursday. The search efforts intensified after his black Suzuki Jimny was located in the Racchiusole area on Friday evening. Following the vehicle's discovery, rescue teams, including the Vigili del Fuoco's specialized TAS unit, drones, and canine units, focused their efforts on the surrounding area.
A breakthrough occurred around noon when a passerby found the man's mobile phone, allowing rescuers to narrow the search radius to an area approximately one kilometer from where the car was found. Despite the difficult terrain and dense vegetation, search teams located the man's body shortly after the phone was recovered.
