The search effort has been discontinued for the 65-year-old Norwegian man who disappeared during a canoe trip on Övre Hågåsjön in Älvdalen, Dalarna, which P4 Dalarna was the first to report on.

We unfortunately do not believe that this person is alive, which is why we are ending the rescue effort, says Peter Persson, duty officer at the police to TT.

The last contact with the man was on Monday. On Saturday, his canoe was found upside down by a police helicopter.

Since the discovery, the police have been searching for the man together with mountain rescuers and search dogs in the terrain, which has been described as very difficult.

We have carried out extensive searches both in the water and in the woods, as well as with helicopters, and unfortunately have not found anyone, says Peter Persson.

It is still unclear what happened.
