The shock is still deep after a 15-year-old girl from Vienna died in a deep fall in a former cement factory in Kaltenleutgeben (Lower Austria). Investigations are now underway against persons unknown on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter.

The final report in the case has been completed, announced Chief Inspector Johann Baumschlager from the Lower Austrian State Police Directorate on request. The 15-year-old was killed in an accident on Thursday evening last week while descending from the roof of the building.

Two to four meter hole
The girl had fallen through a two to four meter hole in the floor of the sixth storey and remained lying on the second floor. The teenager and three other people, an 18-year-old, a 21-year-old and a 15-year-old, all from Vienna, had opened a barrier to the area, according to the eldest. They then used a ladder to get into the main building from an adjoining building.

Popular place with young people
The property in Kaltenleutgeben is considered a so-called lost place and is likely to be visited by young people time and again. According to Baumschlager, the former cement factory was cordoned off with construction fences and there were also signs prohibiting entry. The entrance itself was sealed off with formwork panels.
