Potholer's body is recovered in southern Switzerland dpa German Press Agency Geneva- The body of a potholer who had been trapped since Sunday was recovered from a cave in southern Switzerland Monday after an all-night rescue attempt. The 40-year-old Italian had been part of an expedition of four cavers, according to the Swiss wire service ATS, who had been exploring a grotto at Mount Generoso between Rovio and Arogno. The man from Mantoue in northern Italy had failed to emerge and was reported missing on Sunday evening. Police, specialist caving rescuers and divers had joined the search but the operation had proved difficult. His body was found 70 metres down, close to the bottom of the funnel-shaped cave. Article
