Tourist from Germany discovered deceased at Lake Como - Tourist from Germany perished at Lake Como
In a tragic turn of events, a German tourist was discovered deceased near Lake Como in northern Italy. The man's body was found in a forest near the town of Barni, inland from the popular tourist destination of Bellagio.
The search for the missing individual involved helicopters over the dense forest area, as authorities worked tirelessly to locate the tourist. Unfortunately, the exact cause of his death remains under investigation, with heart failure being suspected.
The town of Bellagio, known for its picturesque beauty and popularity among German tourists, especially during the summer, was the base for the search efforts. Lake Como, one of the large lakes in northern Italy, is a favourite among German visitors, suggesting the possibility that the missing tourist could have been a tourist.
The man's phone was eventually located near the area where his body was discovered, providing a lead for investigators. However, as of now, the exact circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear.
Meanwhile, another unfortunate incident has been reported on Lake Como, involving a Dutch tourist named Julina De Lannoy, age 33. On July 12, 2025, Julina was on a rented boat with five friends when their vessel collided with another boat near the lake.
As a result of the collision, Julina was thrown into the water and apparently struck the boat’s propeller, sustaining critical injuries including a leg amputation. Despite rapid rescue efforts involving health workers, ambulances, a helicopter, and transportation to Sant’Anna Hospital, she succumbed to her injuries and died shortly after.
Another individual on the other boat was injured but is not in life-threatening condition. The incident has prompted an investigation by authorities, with both boats seized and the pilots questioned to determine the circumstances and any possible negligence.
The community and tourists have reacted with shock and support for the victim’s family.
