Two days after the devastating fire in the Hamburg Marienkrankenhaus, it is now clear what led to the three death disaster. From a burning pillow on the geriatric department on the ground floor, the flames spread to the first floor. The bedding is said to have fired a 72-year-old patient.
The fire brigade was quickly on site with a large contingent of around 160 emergency services. Nevertheless, three men aged 84, 85 and 87 were killed. Dozens of other people were injured. The rescue of all affected patients and employees took place through air ladders, portable ladders and through the corridors with so -called caps. The fire can be removed after about 20 minutes.
Suspected silent for accusations
In the course of the witness surveys, the suspicion of arson was confirmed by death and a 72-year-old patient became the target of the researchers. The man was arrested on Sunday. The man was silent about the allegations in court.
According to media reports, the suspect was initially housed in a psychiatric facility. It is believed that the fire was laid “in the state of disability or reduced debt,” as spokeswoman for the public prosecutor said Monday.
