The identity of the person who died in the residential house fire in the Weinviertel community of Ernstbrunn was initially not definitively established. According to police spokesman Raimund Schwaigerlehner, an autopsy was ordered for clarification.

Fire in Korneuburg District Broke Out at Night

The fire in the single-family house broke out shortly after midnight. A resident saved herself by going to neighbors and reported, according to Schwaigerlehner, that her husband was missing. Subsequently, a body was discovered. The exact cause of death is also to be clarified by the autopsy. Six fire brigades were involved in the difficult firefighting operations. Temperatures were about ten degrees below freezing. The structurally unstable object could not initially be entered. The Lower Austria State Criminal Office subsequently took over the investigations, during which the flames of a candle were identified as the probable starting point for the fire.
