The parents of Natacha de Crombrugghe, a Belgian tourist who has been missing since the end of January in Peru, have denied information that their daughter’s body has been found.
The information was published on Wednesday by the Peruvian daily La Republicà and was picked up by several Belgian media outlets.
"It’s just a gruesomely staged old skull with legs made of pieces of oars or wood! There’s little chance it’s Natacha," the tourist’s parents told Belga. The body found is in an advanced state of decomposition and is being identified, according to the Peruvian daily.

Natacha de Crombrugghe, 28, has been missing since January 24, 2022, after going on a trek in Peru.
She had left a backpack in her hotel room in Cabanaconde, a small village perched at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters in the Peruvian Andes, before leaving alone on January 24 around 05:00 to go and see the canyon of Colca, one of the deepest in the world.
