Swiss DJ found dead in lake attached to 90-pound weight
Police have identified a Swiss woman who was found dead Jan. 17 at the bottom of a lake with a 90-pound weight attached to her body.
Jasmin Probst, 31, was a DJ from the Basel area, Swiss newspaper 20 Minuten reported. Authorities are still investigating her cause of death.
Probst’s body was found in Lake Thun, about 15 miles south of Bern in western Switzerland, according to 20 Minuten.
Cops initially could not identify her body, so they shared a photo of her back tattoo, which included the name of Singaporean DJ Gayle San. San then shared the photo on her social media pages.
“I wish I could help the Swiss police and journalist who contacted me, but I don’t know anyone...who has this tattoo,” San wrote in a Jan. 20 Instagram post. “Nevertheless, it’s still very shocking to read about the news. I hope they will be able to identify the woman soon and solve the case, and I’m sending my deepest condolences to her family and friends.”
After San’s post, police received a tip and confirmed Probst’s identity.
