New details in the case of the boy (6) who was found dead on Sunday morning in the Tyrolean Unterland: the father of the child is said to have been attacked and robbed by an unknown perpetrator. When he collapsed unconscious, the sick boy crawled out of the pram, fell into the Kitzbüheler Ache and died.
According to the current state of the investigation, the 37-year-old father probably walked with his sick son in a buggy around 4 a.m. in the area of the so-called Redford-Promenade in St. Johann. Near a scaffolding, a previously unknown assailant allegedly sneaked up on him from behind and pulled a bottle over the man’s head.

“The victim then fell unconscious to the ground and remained in bed. As a result, the perpetrator likely stole the man’s wallet and mobile phone and fled in an unknown direction,” police said.
Victim: “Where is my child?”
The 37-year-old was found – still unconscious – around 5:20 a.m. by a passerby who called 911. “As part of the emergency response, the man inquired about his six-year-old mentally retarded child and, as he was not present at the scene, a search has been launched with the St. Johann Fire Department, a service dog patrol and numerous police patrols have been launched,” he said.

Climbed out of a pram and got hurt
Particularly tragic: an hour later the boy was found dead by the emergency services in the Kitzbüheler Ache. “The child must have gotten out of the pram under its own power and fell into the river where it was carried away and 600 meters downstream it could only be found dead,” Tersch continued.
There are currently no signs of external violence. The prosecutor ordered an autopsy on the child.
