The avalanche winter of 2023/2024 had its first fatality in November. The Pole (41) who was buried on Thursday afternoon near the bell tower in the Ötztal Alps in Tyrol has now died in the Innsbruck clinic – the police confirmed to the “Krone”.
On Thursday, the tourer was swept away by a 250-metre-long slab avalanche in the Glockturm ridge area and was almost completely buried. His frightened companion (47) alerted rescuers. They were able to dig out the Pool and carry out resuscitation measures under the most difficult conditions.
Sad news from the clinic
The 41-year-old was then flown to Zams Hospital, but then transferred to the clinic in Innsbruck. From there now the sad news. “The man has died,” police said.
