According to Schwaigerlehner, a preliminary expert opinion suggests that a gunshot injury can be ruled out. There is evidence of blunt force trauma. The senior was responsive when he was found, according to the official spokesman.

The 84-year-old was admitted to a state hospital. The large-scale police operation was scaled back in the early afternoon. The location where he was found in the residential complex remained cordoned off for the investigations of the crime scene group for the time being.
