Italian rescue workers have found the dead body of a man in the wreckage of the hotel in central Italy that was buried in an avalanche last week, the Italian fire service said on Sunday, with 23 people were still missing as the search operation continues, APA reports quoting Reuters.
"At Hotel Rigopiano, at 1645 CET, the fire brigade located the dead body of one of the missing people," the fire service said in a Tweet.
The death toll stands at six, with 23 people still missing, Paolo Molinari from the Civil Protection agency said.
Nine people, including four children, were pulled alive from the piles of rubble and snow on Saturday.
The luxury Hotel Rigopiano, located at the foot of a mountain chain in the central Italian region of Abruzzo, was hit on Wednesday by an avalanche caused by an earthquake.
