Following an avalanche at a ski resort in Switzerland, an 18-year-old British man was murdered.
A second person who was also swept away in the catastrophe that happened yesterday afternoon in Meiringen is still being sought after by search crews.
Age, gender, and nationality of the missing person are unknown.
The male youngster who died, according to Swiss officials, was originally from England but had been residing in the canton of Bern.
He was skiing on the Gstelliwang, a slope at the foot of the Wellhorn in the Bernese Alps which has a height of more than 2,100m.
The disaster struck the area at around 4.25pm, the Bern cantonal police said.
The 18-year-old and missing person were both part of a larger skiing group, they added, and the avalanche was triggered as the pair travelled down the slope.
Swiss Alpine Rescue and several helicopters were immediately deployed, but were only able to recover the teenager’s body.
A search for the second individual was called off at 7.30pm yesterday and resumed when sunlight returned this morning.
