Liguria Governor Giovanni Toti said
Tuesday that all but one of the eight bodies recovered in the
waters of the Italian region after a wave of extreme weather
came from France.
"The Imperia prefecture has just told us that one of the
recovered corpses after the bad weather belongs to a citizen
from Airole who had not been (previously) reported missing,"
Toti said.
"The other bodies belong to missing French citizens and one body
that the floods carried away from a graveyard in France.
"We are awaiting further verification, but I hope this sad tally
ends here".
Five off the bodies were found at Sanremo.
Two others were recovered at Ventimiglia (one from the sea and
one from the River Roja) and another in the sea off Santo
Stefano.
All the bodies belonged to men.
