The body of Sam Harris, 35, was found buried in deep snow in the Dolomites after he and his friend Aziz Ziriat, 36, went missing since New Year's Day. While Harris's body was recovered, the search for Ziriat is ongoing.
Items belonging to a British hiker who has been missing in the Dolomites since New Year’s Day have been found as the search for him continues.
The body of Harris was found on Wednesday buried in deep snow at the foot of a cliff about 2,600 metres above sea level in the area of the Conca pass in the Adamello nature park. Harris’s best friend and business partner paid tribute to him in a post on Instagram. Spencer Jones said: “To say I am devastated would be an understatement, and I have no words to fully describe how I am feeling at the moment. The search is ongoing for our good friend Aziz Ziriat, so for now, I want to focus on Sam.
On Sunday, more than 100 rescuers continued their hunt for Ziriat, who works for the Crystal Palace FC charity Palace for Life. Crews were searching the snow in an area of about 5,500 sq metres, CNSAS said, with the help of a dog unit.
