Unexpected Autopsy Result in Upper Austria

On the morning of July 7, apparently a work colleague wanted to pick up the Romanian, but found him lifeless in bed. He had met with acquaintances for a barbecue party the evening before. An autopsy routinely ordered by the public prosecutor's office showed that the deceased had a kind of puncture site and a very small projectile in the abdominal cavity. The bullet had unfortunately hit a large blood vessel, and the Romanian bled internally, according to the prosecutor's office.

Subsequently, investigations were initiated by the state criminal investigation department. An air rifle has since been secured, according to the spokesman for the prosecution. Whether the man was intentionally killed or if it was an accident is currently being investigated.
