After the fire in the yard of a farm in Deutschfeistritz, Styria, which killed a man and his mother on Wednesday, the police have now released more details. It is now certain that the fire has been lit – the background is tragic.
The emergency services were busy for hours, the affected house, an outbuilding on the agricultural yard, burned down to the foundations. The helpers, 70 men on duty, were able to prevent the flames from spreading to the nearby forest.
Mother and son died in fire
During the work on site, the emergency services came across the two bodies. While the results of the DNA comparison are still pending, the two dead are believed to be the 44-year-old and his 74-year-old mother due to “the circumstances established so far”. “Both lived together in the apartment building there,” said the police. The result of the cause of death is still pending. Fatal carbon monoxide poisoning is suspected, but the investigation is still ongoing.
Farewell letter found
Investigators also began looking for clues about the cause of the fire – and should discover that the blaze was apparently set intentionally. And from the 44-year-old. The reason: his mother’s serious illness and being overwhelmed. The man had left a suicide note.
