Friends and family issued a statement on social media, expressing gratitude to everyone who assisted in the search efforts. The body was discovered in the Mitucocha Lagoon area, a high-altitude lake in Central Peru, approximately 200km north of Lima. Yap's friends and family remained hopeful for his safe return, acknowledging his love for orienteering and adventure.",
