Tragedy in Zillingdorf: Two bodies discovered in sauna!
On Monday, April 14, 2025, a shocking discovery was made in a sauna in Zillingdorf, Wiener Neustadt district, Lower Austria. The lifeless bodies of a 47-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman were found in the midday hours. The Lower Austria State Criminal Police Office (LKA) immediately began an investigation to clarify the circumstances of the incident. Stefan Pfandler, the head of the LKA, confirmed that the police are currently assuming a possible CO accident or an extended suicide. [vienna.at]
The fire department was also alerted because smoke was detected coming from the sauna. It is believed that an oven was lit, which may have led to the dangerous situation. Farewell letters were found at the crime scene and must now be examined for authenticity. The LKA Lower Austria, especially the Life/Life and Crime Scene Division, was actively on site to advance the investigation. [puls24.at]
Suicide prevention and support services
The tragic incident also raises questions about mental health. In Austria, a total of 1,212 people lost their lives due to suicide in 2023, which corresponds to a suicide rate of 14 per 100,000 inhabitants. This number reflects the need for support services for people with suicidal thoughts. Support is available through the Ministry of Health's suicide prevention portal. The contact details of aid organizations are below www.suicide-praevention.gv.at to find. Young people can talk about www.bittelebe.at inform. [social ministry.gv.at]
The Austrian suicide prevention program SUPRA, which was launched in 2012, aims to reduce the suicide rate in the long term and promote preventive measures in all federal states. A revised action plan for 2025-2030 will be implemented starting this year to further strengthen cooperation between different institutions.
