The deceased was found in the same area as the fifth person, who was picked up this morning, the emergency services specified at a press conference at 2.30 pm.
The sixth person was found among the remains of a house. The person is transported out of the avalanche.
– The person was found after the dogs made marks in the avalanche, task leader Ivar Myrbø in the eastern police district tells TV 2.

I hope to find survivors
USAR teams continue as before with the search for the remaining four missing.
A total of five teams, a total of about 30 people, simultaneously search the avalanche for missing persons.
Police say this is still a rescue operation and that they hope to find survivors, despite the fact that four days have passed since the landslide at Ask in Gjerdrum.
So far, only one of the six dead has been identified.

As fast as they can
– They rush as fast as they can and there is good progress in the search, said fire and rescue service operations manager Jørn Syversen in the previous press release.
Early Sunday, rescue teams expanded their search in the landslide area. Syversten says they have enough crew to continue the search for some time.
Rescue teams work through the night until Sunday. They are also scheduled to work from night to Monday.
One of the rescued dogs suffered minor injuries Sunday morning. The dog was likely injured when it recorded the masses of buildings in the avalanche.
