Rescue workers on Saturday recovered a fourth body and continued searching for another six people still missing days after a landslide buried homes near Norway's capital, authorities said.
King Harald was due Sunday to visit the village of Ask, 25 kilometres (15 miles) northeast of Oslo, where an intense search and rescue operation has been underway since disaster struck in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
"We have made a new discovery of a dead person. It's in the same area as the third body," police official Knut Hammer told a news conference on a day that three bodies were found at the bleak, snow-covered scene at Ask, in Gjerdrum municipality.
