The body of a missing Israeli tourist was found Monday by a search party in Slovenia. The man had been flung out of his boat and swept away by rapids while rafting on Sunday.

The man, 40, belonged to a group of four Israeli travelers, three of whom managed to swim to safety after their raft hit a rock and was damaged, Ynet reported.

Police and rescue services in the central European country conducted a search Sunday for the tourist, finding his helmet and clothing, but called off the operation when night fell.
