On Thursday evening, an 81-year-old woman from Vienna was rescued from Lake Turner near St. Kanzian (Völkermarkt district).
According to the police, the 38-year-old guesthouse owner reported at 8:30 PM that his holiday guest had not returned from swimming and that he had found her clothes on the shore. Shortly after 10:00 PM, the rescuers found the 81-year-old; the exhausted woman was holding onto a pier and was unable to reach the shore on her own.
The 81-year-old was hypothermic but otherwise apparently uninjured. After the initial medical examination, the Red Cross took her to Klagenfurt Hospital for further examinations.
