A 78-year-old man from Styria who had been missing in Croatia was found dead in his motorhome in Slovenia on Monday, ORF reported. He had set out to fish in Croatia.
The man, from the district of South East Styria, had planned to fish at the Dubrava reservoir east of Varaždin. His family lost contact with him and reported him missing after he stopped answering his phone.
Phone tracking showed that his device had connected to a mobile network in north-eastern Croatia. His family also searched for him on Facebook and offered a reward of 5,000 euros for information.
A woman from Styria who was on holiday with a camping group at a thermal spa in Slovenia recognised the motorhome from photos posted online. The vehicle’s door was open, and she alerted police.
The man was found dead on the floor of the motorhome. The cause of death is not yet known and is under investigation, the Styria State Police Directorate said.
