Fatal accident in the Lainzer Tiergarten: Farstear workers buried under Baum

On November 25, 2024, a tragic incident occurred in the Lainz Tiergarten in Vienna during tree cuts. A 22-year-old worker lost his life when a tree overturned and hit him. Despite the immediate efforts of the Viennese professional rescue and a rescue helicopter, the man could not be saved and died at the scene of the accident.

The Viennese police, which was involved in the emergency services, will carry out further investigations in cooperation with the labor inspectorate to clarify the exact circumstances of the accident. An important element of these examinations is the autopsy of the body commissioned by the Vienna State Criminal Police Office. These measures serve to bring light into the dark of the events and to understand the background of the tragic accident.

Investigations and legal steps

In the context of the investigation, it became known that a 16-year-old forest worker is being investigated on suspicion of negligent killing. This development raises questions about security and working conditions for forest work, especially in such a sensitive area as a zoo.

The enormous dangers that exist when working in nature are often underestimated. The on -site emergency services did everything to help the young man, but the injuries were fatal, which illustrates the tragedy of the situation.

Such an incident inevitably leads to discussions about the necessary safety precautions in such work. The Viennese police will publish the results of the investigation in the coming days in order to extend the course of the accident comprehensively.
