The police found a 72-year-old man dead in the Auensee lake in Swabia. According to their statements, they believe he is the missing person who had been sought since Sunday. "We suspect an accident," a police spokeswoman said about the background.

The missing person, who authorities had been searching for in Swabia since Sunday, was reportedly from Bavaria.
