The young man died at the scene of the accident, where he was discovered by police officers following a short search. The Dutchman had previously taken part in a private celebration in the gorge.
“Impaired”
He then ran along the Zillertal federal highway in complete darkness before the accident finally occurred, according to the executive. Other participants in the celebration called the police. The 19-year-old’s body was finally recovered by mountain rescue, water rescue and the fire department.
An autopsy revealed no evidence of foul play. According to witnesses, the young man was probably “impaired,” a police spokesman told APA and at the same time referred to the autopsy results that were still outstanding.
