Missing for days
Corpse discovered in the Danube
On Sunday, the emergency services in Vienna-Brigittenau were called out after a corpse was discovered in the Danube. It was a missing person who had been missing for days.
According to the police, a passer-by discovered a body in the area of the Georg-Danzer-Steg in Vienna-Brigittenau at around 11.30 am. The water police, Vienna Water Rescue and the Vienna Fire Brigade were immediately deployed. A large-scale operation was launched. However, all help came too late and only death could be determined.
Missing for days
According to the police, it was a swimmer (32) who had been missing for several days. He jumped off a bridge into the Danube last week. Several days of searching for the man - supported by fire department divers, drones and the police helicopter - were unsuccessful until he was found today.
According to witnesses, the 32-year-old had jumped into the water under the influence of alcohol and with suspected suicidal intent.
Investigation underway
The operation in the Handelskai area lasted several hours, explained a spokesperson for the regional police headquarters. A rescue helicopter was also on the scene. The investigation is in full swing.
If you or someone close to you is in an exceptional psychological situation or is experiencing suicidal thoughts, please contact the telephone counselling service on 142. You can find more crisis hotlines and emergency numbers HERE.
