The death toll from a German train derailment near a Bavarian Alpine resort has risen to five, police have said, after another body was recovered from the wreckage.
Investigators were combing the overturned carriages for victims and clues as to the cause of the derailment on Friday near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, a region preparing to host the G7 summit in late June.
“At the moment we do not believe there were further victims, but I cannot yet say for sure,” the regional deputy police chief Frank Hellwig told reporters on Saturday.
He said four of the dead were women, and that 44 people had been injured, some of them children.
