In Germany, a pair of siblings probably collapsed on a frozen reservoir in the south of the Free State of Thuringia and died. The 22-year-old and her 13-year-old brother could only be rescued dead from the water reservoir at Westhausen by divers on Saturday morning, a police spokeswoman said.
The two were driving on Friday. Accordingly, they were last seen around 4 p.m. Friday. When the young woman and her brother did not answer the phone, the concerned parents first went to look for their children themselves. Shortly before midnight, the mother then alerted the police: they had discovered their daughter’s car at the reservoir.
The ice was only a few centimeters thick
The layer of ice on the lake was only about two to three centimeters thick, not enough to carry the load of two people, according to police. It is still unclear when and why the two ran onto the lake. The scene of the break-in was “not far from the coast,” he said. Police and lifeguards searched with divers and a dog for the siblings, who could not be found dead until around 8:30 am on Saturday morning.
No signs of third party debt
According to the police, it was an accident. There are currently no signs of third-party debt, it said. The parents, who were taken care of by a crisis intervention team, could not initially be interviewed in detail.
