Body of Missing Pensioner Found in Upper Austria

In Krenglbach (district of Wels-Land), a missing pensioner was found dead on Friday. According to the police, the 86-year-old likely left the house during the night and fell into the creek bed of the Krenglbach along with his walker. An emergency doctor and the community doctor could only confirm the man's death. The police ruled out any foul play.

Police Initiated Search Operation

Neighbors had caught the man's barking dog around 4:00 a.m. When relatives could not find the pensioner in his apartment, they initially searched the immediate vicinity and eventually alerted the police. Since the missing person's mobile phone was not working, several police patrols immediately launched a larger search operation. Shortly thereafter, the lifeless man was discovered.
