Leaves behind 2 children
Deep Grief Following the Death of a Tyrolean Police Cadet
Following the tragic death of a police cadet (34) in the Ötztal valley in Tyrol, the police force is in a state of deep shock. “The investigation is still in its very early stages,” officials said the day after the accident. The interior minister is also “stunned.”
How could this have happened? That is the question facing the police following the tragedy that unfolded on Wednesday in the Ötztal valley. As reported, around noon, a young policewoman (34) fell from the Stuibenfall via ferrata for unknown reasons while participating in her alpine training.
Six hours of frantic searching
What followed was a frantic search for the missing woman, which continued into the evening. The water rescue team, fire department, mountain rescue, police, and specialized canyoning rescuers were all involved. Shortly after 6 p.m., the sad reality became clear. “The 34-year-old was found at the base of the Stuibenfall with fatal injuries,” the police announced in a press release.
There are no words to express my shock and disbelief.
