Dozens of bodies thought to be migrants' found in truck on Austrian highway

The decomposing bodies of as many as 50 people assumed to be migrants being smuggled across Europe were found in a truck abandoned on a highway east of Vienna on Thursday, police said. The precise toll was yet to be determined, said Hans-Peter Doskozil, director of the police in the eastern state of Burgenland, during a news conference on Austria's public broadcaster, adding that the count was hindered by the advanced state of decomposition of some of the bodies.
