PARIS. KAZINFORM - Three climbers were found dead late Sunday in France's Mont-Blanc, where six other people had already died last week, according to local reports.

Citing police sources, local broadcaster Europe1 said the bodies of two climbers and their guide were discovered near the "Aiguille du Midi" peak, which rises to a height of 3,842 meters, Xinhua informs.

According to preliminary investigations, the weather would not be the cause of the accident, the report added.
