Bodies buried after being missing in Swiss Alps for 75 years


BERLIN — A Swiss couple whose bodies were found on an Alpine glacier after they went missing for nearly 75 years has been buried in Switzerland. Swiss broadcaster SRF said the funeral of Marcelin Dumoulin and his wife, Francine, took place Saturday in a church in Saviese in southwestern Switzerland. The couple’s daughter, Marceline Udry-Dumoulin, now 79, says her parents set off on foot to feed their animals but never returned. The bodies were found on the Tsanfleuron Glacier at 2,615 metres (8,580 feet) above sea level. Swiss police say, due to climate change, the bodies of long-dead people have been emerging from receding glaciers.
