A young man who was next to her tried to save her. Emergency Situations Ministry rescuers started searching almost immediately, despite the raging storm. Although everyone already realized that the girl had drowned.

Her body was searched for several days.

"EMERCOM of Russia: rescuers found the body of the girl in the sea. Presumably, it was she who disappeared in Sochi on June 16. After identification will be established her identity", - said in the message of the Department.
