Woman died: three relatives collapse out of grief

An unusual operation is currently causing a stir in Waldeggstraße above Linz railroad station: Several ambulances and the fire department are on the scene. Initially, a gas leak was suspected, but it later turned out that a woman had died of natural causes. Three of her relatives collapsed in grief.

"We initially assumed there was a gas leak or something similar. Then it turned out that three people were in a state of mental distress," said the Red Cross. Two emergency doctors, three ambulances and support from the Workers' Samaritan Federation (ASB) raced to Waldeggstrasse. Three vehicles from the professional fire department also rushed to the scene of the incident.

However, it turned out at the scene that the operation had been triggered by the natural death of a woman. Her death shocked three relatives so much that they collapsed out of grief.
