Snow slide kills farmer, third storm-linked death in France
Thursday, 4 January 2018 () BERLIN (AP) — A 50-year-old farmer was found dead Thursday under a snow slide in the Savoie region of the French Alps, the third death in France since winter storms began battering northern Europe this week. Heavy rainfall in recent days has led to flooding in many parts of Germany and France, which also faces the risk of avalanches in the Alps. More rain is forecast for Friday in both countries. In another somber discovery, the body of a 93-year-old woman was found in southeastern France after her house flooded by a river.
