This incident is reminiscent of a similar case from the last week, in which a 37-year-old woman also fell out of the fourth floor while cleaning the window in Graz. According to Sn.at , the woman stayed motionless on the lawn after she had fallen. A witness informed the emergency services and provided first aid. The injured person was transported to the state hospital Graz after emergency medical care.
In the case of the woman, the police had to open the apartment door with a turntable ladder vehicle from the Graz professional fire brigade because it was closed from the inside. The officials found cleaning utensils and a cleaning cloth, which indicates an accident without external fault.
