After around a month of mystery, it appears the missing Berlin hiker found on Corsica's shores is no longer alive.

An official search was initiated by local rescue teams on May 4, yet it was hampered by inclement weather. The official search was discontinued on May 16, 2025. Despite the termination of the official search, Lauriac's family persisted in their efforts to locate him, launching a fundraiser to finance further search activities. The recent discovery of a body in Corsica lends a somber end to the search for this adventurous soul.
- Despite the tragic outcome, Marc Lauriac's passion for the mountains and adventurous spirit would undoubtedly be commemorated in various sports communities.
