He found the lifeless 49-year-old in the apartment, who apparently had massive injuries all over his body.
The man raised the alarm and called the police, who immediately suspected a violent crime. The dead man was apparently lying in the bathroom, his hands and feet bound, his body covered in bruises and wounds. This leads to the conclusion that the 49-year-old may also have been tortured or severely abused.
"We are investigating at full speed"
The crime scene investigation team was still working on Monday evening. The apartment, located in a listed building on Harrachstraße, was cordoned off by the police. "We are investigating at full speed," Gottfried Mitterlehner, head of the Upper Austria State Criminal Police Office, confirmed to the "Krone" newspaper.
He was always a very pleasant and friendly guest.

Whether any valuables were missing from the apartment was also still under investigation. There is no trace of a possible perpetrator at this time, and the motive for the crime is also unclear.
Real estate agent and house on Lake Attersee
The victim worked as a real estate agent, and his family owns a house on Lake Attersee, among other properties. The 49-year-old was a regular visitor to trendy bars in Linz. He particularly enjoyed walking his little beagle in the Herrenstraße area. "He was always a very pleasant and friendly guest who used to visit us regularly," said Michael Nell from the Hotel Schwarzer Bär, clearly shaken.
