British hiker found dead near Majorcan river Torrent de Pareis following storm. Another hiker is still missing after the both of them disappeared when a storm hit the mountains in Majorca. They are believed to have been caught in heavy floods.
Police searching for a British man swept away by flood waters along with his girlfriend while hiking in Majorca have found a second body.
Her body was found on Wednesday morning in a flooded canyon the pair had been hiking when they were swept away by a torrent of water during a storm on Tuesday afternoon. A pair of trousers believed to belong to Mr Johnson was found by search teams yesterday after divers joined the hunt for the missing man in the flooded canyon called the Torrent de Pareis.
Relatives of the pair, who were holidaying in Majorca, are currently being assisted by psychologists. The mountain rescue team evacuated ten people later that day, including some related to the tragic couple, who were trapped and without warm and protective clothing. The UNESCO World Heritage Site, regarded as one of the most scenic and well-known day walks in Majorca, follows a deep, miles-long canyon starting from the Lluc area, opening at the bay of Sa Calobra.
The two, who were hurried to Son Amer, are said to be 'devastated' by the incident, as they desperately await news regarding their loved ones. Civil Guards are seen in the area where emergency services continue with the search of a British national that went missing in Torrent de Pareis in Mallorca yesterday
'If you are going to do this hike you need to be prepared and most importantly you need to check the weather before going out.' 'The woman was found not far from the trail but the search for the man is proving difficult because of the weather conditions.'
