Moscow sewer: All eight members of tour party confirmed dead in floods

A tour guide and all seven members of their party have been found dead after being trapped underground by flood waters in Moscow’s sewer system, Russian media say.

Sunday’s floods, caused by heavy rain, were so rapid people could not escape.

The group was exploring the underground Neglinka, a tributary of the city’s main river, the Moskva.

The search operation had ended and efforts were being made to formally identify the dead, investigators said.
