Two people were found dead on Thursday evening in an overturned boat in a lake in central Norway, a few miles from the border with Sweden.

The deceased are two Swedish men in their 60s and 70s, respectively.

There are no known witnesses to the incident. It is the local police who will continue to investigate the incident, says the Norwegian police's operations leader Haagen Lövseth to TT, and adds that the dead will be examined more closely.

Hopefully, one can then get more answers about what has happened.

The two men were found in Lake Galthåen in Engerdal municipality, which is two miles from the Swedish border in the vicinity of Idre in northern Dalarna. The police were alerted early on Thursday evening about a boat that was upside down in the lake. Later in the evening, the two deceased were found in the water.

At the scene, the police found, among other things, fishing gear.
