Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited the flooded region on Monday and officials warned that water levels could rise further in some areas. Police said the body of the 43-year-old whom rescuers had been looking for since Sunday morning was found in a basement in the Bavarian town of Schrobenhausen. A firefighter was found dead in nearby Pfaffenhofen on Sunday after an inflatable boat he and colleagues were using capsized.
