After the discovery, the Tyrol control center was immediately alerted. The ski patrol was quickly on the scene, and the crew of an emergency helicopter also arrived. However, for the 58-year-old, any help came too late. All resuscitation measures were unsuccessful, the police spokesman continued. The man's death could only be confirmed.
An autopsy was ordered
In order to determine the exact cause of death, the public prosecutor's office ordered an autopsy of the body at the Innsbruck forensic medicine department. The circumstances of the accident are currently unknown. Investigators are now hoping for possible clues.
Witnesses to the accident, in particular a woman who is said to have been at the scene of the accident, are asked to report to the Mayrhofen police station (tel. 059133/7254) or the Zell am Ziller police station (tel. 059133/7257).
