Oslo emergency services called off a search operation at Sørenga on Wednesday evening after finding no trace of a possible diving accident victim, police said.
Authorities deployed extensive resources including dive teams, boats, and a helicopter following an initial alert at 16:30 local time of a person failing to resurface after jumping from a diving platform at Sørengkaia. The man, believed to be in his 20s, was sought throughout the afternoon before officers formally ended the water search at 17:40. Fire service incident commander Knut Halvorsen commended members of the public who raised the alarm.
Police incident commander Gunn Hege Høgberg confirmed that no one was found in the water and stated that a formal missing person report is required before further searches can proceed. Lifeguards had originally reported the incident, and as of late afternoon no one had filed a missing person report.
