Criminologists in Attergau, Upper Austria, had a mystery to solve. A Polish leasing worker lay dead in a hotel room. On closer inspection, an open wound to the head was discovered, the origin of which could not be determined. Murder or an unfortunate fall? The "Krone" spoke to the woman who discovered the body.

In any case, the police did not want to write "accident" under the report. Because the room on the third floor of the "Tirolerhof" hotel in St. Georgen im Attergau, which the worker had occupied alone, was not locked, and several guests are said to have been drinking to excess the previous evening.
