An Olympic athlete is heartbroken after a body was discovered in a river during the search for their missing sibling.

Sadly, the search for missing 26-year-old Luis Piovesana has come to an end with the discovery of a body. The police, who were searching for Luis, shared the heartbreaking news that a body had been found. Luis had gone missing in the early hours of Friday and his family and friends were desperately trying to locate him.

According to CCTV footage, Luis had last been seen at Eastgate Retail Park in Bristol at around 3am. His sister, Lubjana Piovesana, who is a judo athlete for Team GB, had appealed for assistance in finding her brother. Luis had left without his phone or any money, making it even more difficult to locate him. To aid in the search, over 100 police officers were involved, with some family members even coming from Birmingham to help.

After days of searching, Avon and Somerset Police confirmed that a body had been found in the River Frome, in the Napier Road area of Eastville. Although formal identification has yet to take place, the detectives have met with Luis' family and updated them on the situation. The police spokesperson expressed their condolences to the family during this tough time and assured them that they are receiving support from specialized officers.

It was revealed that Luis had taken a taxi to Eastgate Retail Park from Little Ann Street, which was approximately a 10-minute drive away. The search for him was extensive, with mounted officers and police drones being used. Divers were also deployed to search the River Frome near the M32.

Luis' family had spent the whole weekend looking for him, even asking the locals to check their gardens and sheds. His sister, Lubjana, who had previously competed for Team GB before joining the Austrian team, shared a heartfelt tribute to her brother on social media. She expressed her gratitude for everyone's support and apologized for the tragic outcome. She described Luis as her beloved little brother and thanked everyone for the love and memories they shared with him.
