*More than 70 bodies have been recovered from a lorry found abandoned near the border with Hungary, officials have said.*
The announcement from the Austrian interior ministry on Friday represents a significant rise in the number of people, thought to be migrants, who are known to have died. Police had originally put the toll at 50.
The refrigerated, air-tight truck was found on Thursday by an Austrian motorway patrol with fluid seeping out. The bodies were probably inside for two days.
