Going to the “toilet” in the wild on Tuesday was fatal for a German hiker (58) in Tux in the Tyrolean district of Schwaz. Because the meadow was wet, the man slipped and fell over steep terrain. The helicopter had to approach.
The accident happened around 6:45 p.m. The 58-year-old was walking with friends in Tux. “He left the group on a gravel path from the Lattenalm towards Lanserbach to relieve himself,” the police said. However, the short “go to the toilet” ended fatally for the German.

“He slipped on the wet meadow and fell about 20 meters over steep terrain.” The hiker suffered serious injuries. His companions immediately made a distress call. The Tux Mountain Rescue Service provided first aid to the victim. The 58-year-old was then rescued by the helicopter using a rope and flown to the clinic in Innsbruck.
