China Mountain Torrent Claims Lives of All Eight Missing Residents
(MENAFN) Eight residents who vanished last week during a violent mountain torrent in southern China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region have now been officially declared dead, according to local authorities reported by state media on Thursday.
Authorities confirmed the identities of all eight victims through DNA testing, following the recovery of the final body from river waters approximately 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) downstream on Wednesday, a Chinese news agency detailed.
