THE body of a Brit hiker who vanished during a trek in Italy five months ago has now been found.
in the Italian Dolomites on New Year’s Eve.
His body was found today after rescuers launched a search mission months ago to find the missing Brit.
The Trentino Alpine and Speleological Rescue team are now recovering Aziz’s remains.
His pal Harris was found dead back in January, and his body was covered under deep layers of snow.
The pair failed to get on their flight back home on January 6, and they had stopped answering their phones.
Aziz’s mobile phone, card and glasses were all discovered close to Harris’ body, but no sign of him was found.
Family and friends of the pair flew out to the Italian region to help with the rescue efforts.
The last known location of the duo was near a mountain hut called Casina Dosson, close to the town of Tione Di Trento.
Their families later revealed the men planned to go between huts in the mountain range for a special New Year’s hike.
Video shared with The Telegraph showed Aziz preparing to hike the mountain range with Sam before the fatal climb.
In the clip, he films the mountain range as well as a stone shelter where the friends are believed to have stayed overnight.
He says: “Happy New Year! Woken up to some delightful sunshine, blue skies.
“There has not been a cloud in theskysince we got here, which is slightly unnerving but also quite jokes.”;
He adds: “I want to attack this today, get up into some of the 3,000 bits which are up yonder.
“Looking forward to a day scampering, we are not taking our packs today, for the last two days lugging up this God-forsaken valley, another day frolicking before schlepping over to thenextvalley.”;
Rebecca Dimmock, the girlfriend of Aziz, called the pair “experienced hikers”;.
She revealed she last spoke to her boyfriend on New Year’s Day – shortly after the video was recorded, according toBBCreports.
Rebecca said: “He said his phone was about to die but he would write back to me properly soon.
“I know they made it to the hut, and they were drinking redwine, but he said it was freezing.”;
