The death of a man discovered early Monday in a garage exit in Vienna-Neubau is not due to third-party negligence, contrary to earlier fears. This was announced by police spokeswoman Anna Gutt on Tuesday after a preliminary autopsy result was available.

Driver Discovered Body in Garage Exit in Vienna-Neubau

The man was found on Monday by a driver in Lindengasse. The woman had slightly hit the man with her car, but he was already dead.

The forensic medicine also ruled out that the woman had run him over completely, as was initially feared. It is therefore - subject to the results of the toxicological report - assumed that the man's death was a chain of unfortunate circumstances. Gutt stated that the deceased has now been identified. He was a 28-year-old homeless Austrian citizen who was involved in the drug scene, among other things. The man's relatives have now been identified.

Street Workers Noticed 28-Year-Old a Day Before

Just on Sunday, street workers had approached the 28-year-old and wanted to persuade him to go to the Caritas emergency shelter Gruft. The man refused. The social workers then gave him the sleeping bag that was found with him on Monday. According to Gutt, the 28-year-old was in a very poor general health condition.
