ONE BODY STILL MISSING IN SWISS DISASTER

FOURTEEN of the 21 victims of Tuesday’s canyoning accident have been identified, police said Sunday, as the search continues for the last missing person. Hours earlier, some 500 people took part in a torchlight vigil along the Saxet-Bach river near Interlaken to honor the dead. Friends and relatives of the victims, which include 20 known dead and one person still missing plus six who were injured, walked along the river bank on Saturday before lighting a fire and laying flowers in their memory. The 21st body was found on Saturday using an underwater camera. Two of the victims are from South Africa.
