Tragic end to the search on Crete: HGSS found the body of a foreign national

Members of the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service (HGSS) located the body of a foreign national who had gone missing on the island of Cres, near the village of Lubenica. The search, which began after a call for assistance from the police station in Mali Lošinj, involved 13 members of the HGSS station in Rijeka and three personnel from an intervention base in Lošinj. The team conducted a terrain search using a drone and found the deceased’s body several hours later. The rescue operation concluded around midnight with the return of the HGSS members to their base in Vezica, Rijeka. Police authorities are now investigating the circumstances and causes of the tragic incident, including a post-mortem examination to determine the cause of death.

On Friday, members of Croatia’s Croatian Mountain Rescue Service (HGSS) located the body of a foreign national who had gone missing near Lubenica on the island of Cres. The search, which involved 16 rescuers, concluded after several hours with the discovery of the deceased's body. Police are currently investigating the circumstances and cause of the tragic incident. The call for assistance was received around 10:00 AM from the police station in Mali Lošinj, reporting the disappearance of a foreign citizen in the area of Lubenica. Following the analysis of information and profiling of the missing person, 13 members of the HGSS Station in Rijeka responded to the scene. They were joined by three additional rescuers from the intervention base in Lošinj. A coordinated search operation was launched, utilizing both ground teams and a drone operated by the HGSS. Search efforts continued throughout the day, with rescuers combing through the rugged terrain of Lubenica. The operation included systematic scanning of the area, with the drone playing a crucial role in covering difficult-to-reach locations. After several hours of searching, the body of the missing individual was found. The rescue team returned to their base in Vežica, near Rijeka, just before midnight. Authorities have confirmed that the body was discovered in a state of decomposition, indicating that the individual had been missing for some time. As part of the ongoing investigation, a post-mortem examination has been ordered to determine the exact cause of death. The police are working closely with the HGSS to gather all relevant evidence and provide a comprehensive account of the incident. The search operation highlighted the challenges faced by rescuers in mountainous regions, where visibility is often limited and conditions can quickly become hazardous. The involvement of multiple units from different bases underscored the complexity of coordinating such operations in remote areas. Despite the difficulties, the HGSS managed to locate the body within a relatively short timeframe, demonstrating the efficiency of their response protocols. Local authorities have expressed condolences to the family and friends of the deceased, acknowledging the emotional impact of the tragedy. The incident serves as a reminder of the risks associated with solo travel in isolated areas and the importance of maintaining communication with local services. While the full details of the case remain under investigation, the outcome underscores the critical role played by emergency responders in such situations.
