Investigations After Discovery of Body in Apartment in Vienna-Margareten

In view of the circumstances of the discovery and the result of the initial forensic medical report, "foul play cannot currently be ruled out," as Anna Gutt, spokeswoman for the State Police Directorate, explained to the APA. The State Criminal Police Office is conducting investigations "at full speed and in all directions." Currently, they are waiting for the autopsy report. This could take several weeks, it was said. In addition, interrogations were underway.

27-Year-Old Was Registered Alone in Apartment in Vienna-Margareten

The woman, who was recently unemployed and registered as seeking work, was registered alone at her address on Zentagasse. She is believed to have been dead in the apartment for at least a few days before her body was discovered, according to the police. Determining the exact time of death is the responsibility of the forensic pathologist, who will consider that the current hot temperatures likely affected the decomposition process.

Over the weekend, witness interviews with relatives and neighbors were ongoing. Among other things, it remains unclear when the woman was last seen alive. The police have so far withheld details about the injuries and any traces in the apartment. It is currently not certain whether a homicide has occurred, said the police spokeswoman. Early Sunday afternoon, police investigators were present at the address and tasked with investigations. This was observed by an APA reporter at the scene.
