Residents discovered a body on the edge of the Sense River in Laupen, Bern. “We still saw the body, then we were shooed away,” said a news scout. The cantonal police in Bern confirm an ongoing operation in the Laupen area, but are not yet providing any further information on the background. In addition to the police, the medical services were also deployed.
According to the news scout, the emergency services are also supported on site by sniffer dogs and Rega. A bridge not far from the site has now been cordoned off on one side to keep onlookers away. According to the news scout, it was probably a swimming accident. “Swimming suits were lying next to the body,” the reader told 20 minutes. The river Sense is extremely slippery and there is therefore a risk of falling on the slippery stones. It is currently not clear whether the person actually died from a fall.
