After the unexpected death of 44-year-old Strabag boss Klemens Haselsteiner, the Kurhaus in Upper Carinthia, where he was a guest, has now announced the cause.
According to Kurhaus Oberkärnten, an aneurysm hemorrhage led to the early death of Strabag chairman Klemens Haselsteiner. This causes an enlarged blood vessel, an aneurysm, to rupture and blood to leak out – often leading to death. The Kurhaus in Upper Carinthia, where he was a guest several times, confirmed in consultation with the family that the 44-year-old died on Friday from such a hemorrhage.
Despite medical assistance and a quick call from the Red Cross, the 44-year-old could no longer be helped. Some news reports are so “unbelievable” that you don’t want to believe them, Kerstin Gelbmann, chairman of Strabag’s supervisory board, said on Saturday.
Group management thanks Haselsteiner
And further: “On behalf of the Supervisory Board of Strabag SE, I express my sincere condolences to the family. Our condolences also go out to all Strabag employees, who considered Klemens Haselsteiner his extended family. A company obituary said Haselsteiner had made a significant contribution to realigning the construction giant with his “sense of future problems.” . His impulses had an ‘radiance’ that reached far beyond the company.
“His philosophy was to prove himself every day and show that construction can be better.” Haselsteiner’s goal was to draw inspiration from every discussion and conversation and to improve something. The staff will remember him fondly.
The entire Haselsteiner family has been known in the Kurhaus for decades. It has deep roots in Upper Carinthia: Hans Peter Haselsteiner married Ulrike Lerchbaumer from Spittal an der Drau and had three sons with her – including Klemens. Haselsteiner was also chairman of the Porcia comedy games in Spittal for many years.
