33-Year-Old Woman Frozen to Death at Grossglockner: Investigation Against Partner

A spokesperson for the prosecution confirmed a report from the online edition of the "Kleine Zeitung" to the APA on Tuesday.

The Tyrolean police spoke of a "leadership relationship" between the man and his partner in relation to the investigations, which was one of the reasons for the investigations. The 36-year-old had planned the summit ascent and was the more experienced mountaineer, it was said. Public prosecutor's spokesman Hansjörg Mayr explained that all of this will now have to be examined in the course of the investigations. Investigations for negligent homicide are the usual procedure in such cases and are certainly not unusual.

Woman Frozen on Großglockner: Ascent Was Slow

Last Saturday, the deceased woman from Salzburg started a tour with her partner over the Stüdlgrat to the Großglockner. The descent was supposed to lead back to the starting point via the Kleinglockner or via the Adlersruhe. However, the ascent was slow. Just before the summit and already late at night, the 33-year-old ran out of strength to continue and her companion went on alone to get help. The alerted mountain rescue team finally set off on Sunday morning. Shortly after 10.00 a.m., the rescue forces reached the victim and could only confirm the woman's death. She had apparently frozen to death, but the exact autopsy result was still pending.
