Months after the disappearance of a British hiker in the Pyrenees, her partner discovered the remains of the 37-year-old.
The 38-year-old also found parts of her equipment in the mountainous Spanish-French border region, said the British organization LBT Global, which helps in the search for missing persons, on Tuesday.
Human bones had been seen nearby two weeks ago.
Specialists would now try to recover the body in the Port de la Gléré area.
"At this point in time, an accident is the most likely theory, also given the location and other clues," it said.
The 37-year-old was last seen on November 22, 2020 when she went on a solo hike.
The area is popular with hikers in the summer, reported British media.
In winter, however, the conditions are quite risky.
Police and rescue workers kept looking for the missing person.
Now it was the partner who made the feared find.
