Community building drama
Daughter waited for weeks next to dead father
A dramatic family tragedy shakes a Viennese council estate: a 51-year-old daughter waited for weeks next to the body of her deceased father until she was finally rescued by the fire department.

Daughter barely survived
What an ordeal! At least the daughter is likely to survive. Even if only just. She was completely emaciated and dehydrated and would probably only have lasted a few more days. The 51-year-old received emergency medical treatment and was taken to a nearby hospital.
A routine forensic autopsy was carried out on the body to determine both the cause and the time of death. After the possibility of third-party involvement was ruled out, the case was filed.
There had been a strange smell in the house for some time, but I had no idea. Such a terrible story.
