Sad certainty: missing 85-year-old from Wiedemar found dead!

Hohenprießnitz, Deutschland - The sad certainty about the whereabouts of a missing pensioner from northern Saxony has now become known. The 85-year-old Herbert Z. had disappeared since August 19 when he had broken up to a bike tour. On September 22nd, his body was discovered in a side arm of the Mulde near Hohenprießnitz, but the identification could only be completed now.

The police have announced that according to previous knowledge there is no suspicion of a crime. The police spokeswoman Susanne Lübcke explained this in order to finally clarify the circumstances of his death. The concern of relatives was reinforced by the fact that Herbert Z. was considered helpless in an emergency due to his state of health.

The last days of the pensioner

The last news about Herbert Z. come from his departure on the morning of August 19. He lived in the crooked alley in the Klitschmar district of the small town of Wiedemar. According to reports, the pensioner estimated nature and regularly drove long bike tours, often to Saxony-Anhalt or Thuringia. These preferences led to his family and the police initiated first searches when he did not return.

The police had asked the population to receive information that could provide information about his whereabouts. The fear of the health of the senior was great because it could not be ruled out that he could have come into a needy situation. Investigations were initiated, and witnesses that Herbert Z. possibly had seen or had contact with him were asked for their help.

Nevertheless, it took weeks for the terrible discovery to be made in the river bed, which increased the emotional pressure on the relatives. It remained unclear what had happened during this long time and the question of the course of his disappearance was in the room.

Since such events in the region are rather rare, the general public was mobilized to look for the pensioner. It was an intensive time in which many people were involved in the search, supported by the hope of finding Herbert Z. again alive. The discovery of his body has now brutally destroyed this hope.
