A body believed to be one of two British men has been found after they went missing in the Dolomites, Italy’s alpine rescue service has said.
Aziz Ziriat, 36, and Samuel Harris, 35, from London, were last heard from on 1 January after sending messages home from the Trentino region in northern Italy. They did not check into their flight home on 6 January.
The rescue team said a body was found “unfortunately lifeless, buried under the snow” after a helicopter search resumed on Wednesday morning.
The discovery was made in a high-altitude area where a phone signal was last recorded from one of the men, it added.
