Missing 29-year-old from Oetz found dead in the Inn
A body was discovered on the bank of the Inn in Innsbruck-Mühlau on Thursday evening. According to Google News AT — Crime (de), citing Tyrolean police, it is almost certainly a 29-year-old Turkish man from Oetz in the Imst district who had been missing since mid-August.
Water rescue personnel recovered the body from the Inn. An autopsy carried out the following Friday found no signs of third-party involvement according to police.
The 29-year-old was last seen on 16 August. As early as 17 August, a large contingent of emergency personnel was mobilised after passers-by in Silz reported seeing a person in the water. Several fire brigades, water rescue and police participated in the search operation along the Ötztaler Ache and the Inn without success. Whether the person spotted at that time was a man or a woman remained unclear.
The investigation is now expanding to a possible connection with another missing person case. A 33-year-old woman who was in a relationship with the 29-year-old was also reported missing on 16 August. A police spokesman stated on Saturday that there was geographical and temporal proximity between the two cases. A vehicle found in Oetz near a bridge is believed to belong to the woman.
Whether the two disappearances are actually connected remains unclear according to police. The authorities are investigating all possibilities.
