It was not a defective battery or any other technical incident, but cigarette smoke that claimed the life of a 33-year-old farmer from Klaffer am Hochficht (Upper Austria). This is evident from police research.
The drama surrounding the young firefighter caused a great stir in the Upper Mühlviertel – and also set the rumor mill in motion.
After Konrad S. did not answer his phone after several phone calls on Sunday, his father and a friend checked on him.
Fell asleep on the couch
When they noticed light soot and a burning smell near the closed door of the apartment, they kicked in the door and found Konrad dead in bed.
According to research, the construction worker came home at 2 a.m. after a visit to a restaurant and probably fell asleep on the couch. The fire is said to have broken out in the living room, near the sofa.
A doctor eventually diagnosed death from CO poisoning. Konrad S. probably suffocated between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. A new fire in St. Veit im Mühlkreis put an elderly couple in great danger. An electric blanket caught fire.
