Frozen to death after a fall
Missing 85-year-old only found dead
An 85-year-old man who had been missing in Vöcklabruck since Friday was found dead on Monday. The slight man, who suffered from dementia, probably lost his way during his daily walk in the woods, fell in rough terrain and then froze to death, the police announced in the evening. The body has now been discovered during a hunt.
The man had been brought home by relatives on December 25. When his sons did not reach him in the following days, they filed a missing persons report. A large-scale search operation involving around 120 people and the rescue dog brigade was unsuccessful. Drones with thermal imaging cameras were also unsuccessful.
Lost while out for a walk
On Monday, the body of the pensioner was finally discovered during a hunt in the Pfarrerwald forest in Vöcklabruck. It was lying in rough and sloping terrain.
The police assume that the 85-year-old had lost his way while out walking. He probably fell and froze to death as a result. There are no indications that he was not at fault.
