ZURICH (Reuters) -Search parties combing the Swiss Alpine village that was buried last month after the collapse of a glacier have found human remains, police said.

Police did not confirm if the remains were of a 64-year-old man who was reported missing in Blatten after it was engulfed by millions of cubic meters of ice, mud and rock.
