On Thursday, May 16, Bren Orton, who had been reported missing earlier, was found dead on Friday, May 17. It was stated that he had gone kayaking with a party on the Melezza River in Switzerland on Thursday, May 16. Bren is not seen again because he fell entangled in a recirculating feature and did not emerge. The search operations are being painstakingly continued by the authorities and friends, and at this time nothing has been found.
It is requested that everyone abstain from making any speculations or publishing about the occurrence in order to show respect for the privacy of Bren’s family and friends during this trying time.
Melezza River in Switzerland
One of the rivers that flows through Switzerland’s Centovalli and the municipalities of Borgnone, Palagnedra, and Intragna is the Melezza River, which is also referred to as the Melezza Orientale. Following its beginning in Re, it travels through gorges and eventually enters Swiss territory, where it is referred to as the Melezza for short. Having joined the Isorno, the river’s most significant tributary, the river eventually empties into the Maggia at Losone, which is located close to Lago Maggiore.
