A 19-year-old student from Hamburg, who disappeared during a freshman party at a campsite in Melbeck, has been found dead in the Ilmenau River.
The student was last seen on Friday night, reportedly intoxicated, before vanishing without a trace.
After an extensive search involving helicopters, drones, and divers, the body was discovered by the German Life Saving Association (DLRG) during a planned training exercise.
Police have confirmed the identity of the deceased and are investigating the incident as a possible accident, though foul play has not been ruled out.
An autopsy is scheduled to determine the exact cause of death.
The student's family and friends have been receiving support during this difficult time.
