Mysterious death: 27-year-old found dead in Vienna-Margareten!
In a tragic incident, a 27-year-old woman was found dead in her apartment in Vienna-Margareten last Saturday. The body had injuries, but the exact cause of death is currently unclear. The final report from the coroner's office is expected in a few weeks. While the investigators from the State Criminal Police Office are considering all possibilities, they are not ruling out foul play. However, there are also indications that the woman may have committed suicide, such as Today reported.
The person affected became known as a trained nurse who had noticeable personal problems in recent months. A falling out with her father, who also lives in Vienna, and the failure of her relationship with a life partner indicate a difficult situation. She also apparently struggled with a drug problem, which ultimately led to her losing her job. Neighbors noticed a change in her appearance as she went from blonde to black hair and wore only dark clothing.
Special circumstances of death
The circumstances of her death are reminiscent of another tragic incident: In April 2024, construction workers found a body in a large black plastic bag in a basement in Margareten. The discovery was made during preparation work for concreting when a strong smell came from the bag. Investigations were also initiated here. The decomposed body, which was not dismembered, had apparently been there for some time, and the gender and identity of the person initially remained unclear. Ultimately, the body was confiscated to the coroner's office for an autopsy, and the police also assume possible foul play W24 reported.
Overall, the increase in suicides in Austria is an issue that needs to be taken seriously. According to a report by the Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection from 2024, 1,212 people died by suicide in Austria in 2023. Compared to other federal states, the city of Vienna is one of the regions with the lowest suicide rates in the last five years. What is particularly striking is that 80% of those who die by suicide are men. The most common method of committing suicide remains hanging, followed by firearms and falling into the depths, such as jasmine determines.
The tragedies associated with suicide and the numerous cases of unknown causes of death can place a heavy burden not only on the immediate circle of acquaintances of the deceased, but also on the community as a whole. It is therefore of public interest to understand how such problems present themselves in society and what measures can be taken to prevent them.
