VIENNA (Reuters) – Two Austrians who went missing in recent floods in Greece have been confirmed dead as DNA tests on two recovered bodies confirmed their identities, the Austrian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Saturday without naming them.
“It is our sad duty to announce the death of two Austrian citizens in Greece,” the ministry said in a brief statement.
“The results of the DNA analyses confirmed that these are the two people who have been missing since the severe floods.”
