Jerusalem man found dead in Hungary
May 1, 2016Police have located the body of 40 year-old Jerusalem resident Ofir Gross in a local forest, they announced Sunday, one week after disappearing in Hungary.
The Foreign Ministry has stated that they are waiting for Gross’s body to be formally identified before confirming his death.
Gross, a bio-medical engineering student at a university in Berlin, flew to Budapest last month. Locals said he intended to continue his travels to the city of Debrecen.
He told his family he was going to stay with a Hungarian native in the town of Tiszakécske, and since then there had been no contact.
Relatives told Israeli news last week that Gross had arranged the overnight stay through “couchsurfing” – staying at strangers’ homes for cheap or free – and it is unclear whether he disappeared before or after arriving at his planned destination.
