A 65-year-old man drowned and died while swimming in the New Danube in Vienna on Wednesday evening.
Relatives alerted the emergency services shortly before 7:30 PM and provided very precise information on where the man was swimming, said fire department spokesman Gerald Schimpf. The person was therefore quickly found and recovered.
However, resuscitation attempts were unsuccessful, explained Corina Had, spokeswoman for the Vienna professional rescue service. The accident happened at the Kaisermühlen Bridge in Vienna-Donaustadt.
