Life of 73-Year-Old Saved by Drone Patrol in Eschenau

Officers from the Traisen Police Station immediately began investigations and were able to find out that the man had still been in his room at around 11:00 pm. During a patrol at around 02:00 am, he was no longer there. The police requested a drone patrol from the state control centre of the Lower Austria State Police Directorate to assist in the search for the missing person.

Life Saved by Drone Patrol in Eschenau

An initial search in the municipal areas of Eschenau, Wilhelmsburg and Traisen was unsuccessful. The drone patrol detected a heat source in the municipal area of Eschenau using a thermal imaging camera at around 04:30 am, which apparently came from a fallen person. Officers from the Traisen Police Station were then able to find the 73-year-old, who was severely hypothermic. He was taken to the Lilienfeld State Hospital by the rescue service.

"This operation once again demonstrates the efficiency of the police's 'drone' tool. The man would most likely not have survived the night if he had not been quickly found by the operation drone using a thermal imaging camera," says State Police Director Franz Popp, who congratulates the deployed forces on the life-saving operation.
