Large search on Lake Wörtherson: 38-year-old missing after a fall!
At Wörthersee in Carinthia on Saturday evening, numerous emergency services mobilized into a large-scale deployment after the fall of a 38-year-old man. The incident occurred around 10 p.m. when the man fell from a floating platform that was prepared for dinner. Eyewitnesses report that the man went down immediately, which initiated the dramatic search for him. A total of around 100 fire brigade, water rescue and diving teams were mobilized to search for the missing person, such as OE24 reported.
The search continued deep into the night, but was canceled without any result. The search was resumed on Sunday morning at 6 a.m. and the emergency services expanded their efforts in all directions. Operations manager Stefan Valentinitsch said that the missing person is suspected at a depth of about 40 meters. As the next step, the platform on which the accident happened is brought to Bad Saag in order to be able to better examine possible traces of the incident.
