Tragic end of a Tikok adventure: 15-year-olds falls to his death!

Kaltenleutgeben, Österreich - A tragic incident shook the municipality of Kaltenleuten in the Mödling district on February 6, 2025 when 15-year-old Caroline from Vienna fell from the former cement factory. In a unsuccessful photo project with friends, she fell through a hole in the sixth to four meters tall on the sixth floor and suffered fatal injuries on the first floor. Her circle of friends, which also includes a 15-year-old, an 18-year-old and a 21-year-old, had given itself from one of the young people access to the site, which was considered “Lost Place”, reports 5min.at .

The public prosecutor's office in Wiener Neustadt has already initiated investigations into negligent killing, initially against unknown. According to Kleine Zeitung , the final report has been completed in this case. It was found that access to the cement factory was secured by formwork plates and fences, as well as an explicit ban on entering was signposted. Caroline's tragic case illustrates the dangers associated with the illegal enter of such places, and the shock of the incident is great in the community.

Among the companions of Caroline there was no one who predicted the tragedy. It is a worrying example of the risks associated with such adventures, because the search for an 'Instagram wording' image can have fatal consequences. While the investigation continues, the question of how the security of young people can be improved in such environments remains unexplained.
