Shock Discovery: Cleaning Lady Lay Dead in School for Days

A cleaner presumably collapsed and died last Friday at a school in West Styria's Stainz. She remained unnoticed over the weekend and was only found on Monday after the educational institution was opened.

The State Police Directorate confirmed on Tuesday a report by the "Kronen Zeitung", according to which the woman died of natural causes. Several students were cared for by the crisis intervention team.

Cleaner Found Dead in School Over Weekend

According to the report, the woman was last seen on Friday noon, before she apparently began her work at the school. After the deceased was discovered on Monday morning, the school administration informed all parents and asked them to keep their children at home.

However, according to Mayor Karl Bohnstingl (ÖVP), six students were already in the building and were then cared for by him and the crisis intervention team. The planned New Year's reception in the community was cancelled.
