The body of a 74-year-old man has been recovered from Lake Geneva.
The man went missing on June 17th when he went for a swim from a boat in the middle of the lake. He disappeared under the water.
He couldn’t be found despite a quick response from helicopter and boat searches.
The man lived in canton Valais.
The discovery of the body now increases the number of people who died that day in lakes, rivers and pools across the country to 8.
