Missing 60-year-old man found dead in Germany's Black Forest

A 60-year-old man from Inzlingen, reported missing last month, has been found dead in the southern Black Forest. The discovery was made on May 13, 2026, following weeks of extensive search efforts across the region. The man was first reported missing on April 14, 2026, prompting immediate concern for his safety. Authorities launched large-scale search operations, covering areas including Inzlingen and Malsburg-Marzell. Early fears suggested he might be in a vulnerable or helpless situation.

No signs of foul play have been uncovered during the investigation. As the search concluded, officials requested that media outlets and the public remove any published photos of the missing man to respect privacy.

The public search has now been officially called off after the body was located in the southern Black Forest. Investigations into the circumstances surrounding his death are ongoing. The case has been closed as an active search, but authorities continue to examine the details of the man’s death. No further public statements have been made regarding the cause or additional findings. The family has been informed and is receiving support during this time.
