Death Drama in Former Cement Factory: How 15-Year-Old from Vienna Reached the Area

Following the death of a 15-year-old on Thursday evening in a former cement factory in Kaltenleutgeben (district of Mödling), it is now clear how the girl and three other individuals aged 15, 18 (rpt. 18), and 21, all from Vienna, accessed the area.

Death of a 15-Year-Old: Access to the Site via Ladder

According to police spokesperson Johann Baumschlager, they initially opened a barrier. Then, they used a ladder from an adjacent building to enter the main building, the chief inspector stated on Saturday upon request.

The 21-year-old reportedly showed officers from the Perchtoldsdorf police station the way. He has already been questioned as a witness. According to the young man's statements, the group intended to take photos. The fatal accident occurred while descending from the roof of the former factory. The 15-year-old fell through a hole two to four meters wide in the floor of the sixth floor and landed on the first floor.

Further Questioning in Vienna

The questioning of the 18-year-old and the 15-year-old was still pending. Both are to be questioned in Vienna, according to Baumschlager. The individuals involved are "emotionally very affected," the police spokesperson explained on Friday. After the investigations are completed, a report will be sent to the public prosecutor's office in Wiener Neustadt.

The site in Kaltenleutgeben is considered a so-called Lost Place and is likely frequently visited by young people. According to Baumschlager, the former cement factory was fenced off with construction barriers, and a no-entry sign was posted. The access itself was blocked with formwork panels.
