Teenager’s body found after flooding hit New Zealand school’s cave visit

Group reportedly got into difficulty as torrential rain hit during outing in Northland region

Searchers in New Zealand have found the body of a teenager who died on Tuesday as torrential rain fell during a school trip into caves in the Northland region.

The deluge swamped parts of the North Island, including Northland, where damage from record floods in February was still evident. In New Zealand's largest city, Auckland, inspections of 120 water-damaged buildings began on Wednesday morning as the weather cleared.
