A well-known lawyer from Graz recently died under tragic circumstances at a swimming lake. The Public Prosecution Service is now investigating the case. Was it negligent homicide?
There is currently great commotion in legal circles in Graz: a renowned colleague who was involved in many spectacular legal cases has died under tragic circumstances. The accident happened on August 23 in the Copacabana in Kalsdorf.
According to information from Krone, the lawyer was traveling in a pedal boat and was on his way to a house where he met acquaintances. Once there, they spent some time on a terrace.
Suddenly the Styria must have lost its balance. He fell a few meters along a construction fence and landed on a metal staircase that led into the water.
Investigation into homicide by gross negligence
Immediately first aid measures were taken and the seriously injured man was taken to hospital, where he was put into an artificial deep sleep. But his injuries were too serious. He died about a week after the accident.
It does not seem clear at this time exactly how this tragic accident occurred. The terrace where he was located may not have been properly secured. That is why it is also the turn of the Graz Public Prosecution Service: “We are investigating the suspicion of murder with gross negligence,” Hansjörg Bacher, spokesperson for the Graz Public Prosecution Service, confirmed to the ‘Steirerkrone’.
