Passer-by raised the alarm
Residential building fire at night in Leoben: 61-year-old dead
A fire broke out in a residential building opposite the Leoben Justice Center in Styria on Tuesday night. All help came too late for the 61-year-old resident. Fire investigators have ruled out a technical cause.
A passer-by discovered the fire in Kärntnerstraße on Monday night and raised the alarm. The firefighters from the Leoben-Stadt, Leoben-Göss and Niklasdorf volunteer fire departments fought the flames using heavy breathing apparatus.
Resident lived alone
As the police confirmed, a body was found in the entrance area of the building during the extinguishing work. It is believed to be the 61-year-old female resident who lived alone in the detached house.
Autopsy ordered
Initial investigations by the Styrian State Office of Criminal Investigation's fire brigade revealed that the fire was apparently not caused by technical factors. The public prosecutor's office in Leoben ordered an autopsy to determine the final identity and cause of death.
