Girlfriend raised the alarm
Mountaineer (36) fell 100 meters to his death in Tyrol
Fatal alpine accident on Thursday in the Tyrolean Oberland: a 36-year-old local man fell 100 meters during a mountain tour. After the man had not contacted his girlfriend, his body was discovered during a helicopter flight.
In the early hours of the morning, the 36-year-old local had set off on a tour from the Straßberghaus near Telfs (Innsbruck-Land district) in the direction of Karkopf. "At around 7 a.m. he was still in contact with his partner on the phone. He then wanted to contact her again after reaching the summit," according to the police.
Smartphone remained silent
But the girlfriend's cell phone did not ring. After she could no longer reach him, she filed a missing person's report. A search flight was then carried out with the Libelle Tirol police helicopter. Soon there was sad certainty.
He had fallen about 100 meters over extremely steep, rocky terrain.
