Body of fourth victim pulled from Italian lake after boat carrying Brit tourists capsized.

THE body of the fourth victim was recovered from an Italian lake after a party boat carrying British tourists celebrating a birthday capsized.

The tragedy struck when the 52ft vessel was sunk by a sudden "whirlwind", tipping everyone on board into the choppy waters of Lake Maggiore on the border between Italy and Switzerland.

Some 14 people managed to swim 150 yards to shore, and another five were rescued in a huge emergency operation.

By the early hours, rescuers had recovered two bodies and the search was continuing through the night for two missing passengers.

Two more bodies were discovered by divers this morning bringing the total number of dead to four, Fire Brigade spokesman Luca Cari confirmed.
