Death while visiting – body laid on couch because no medical officer was there

“It was incomprehensible,” said Birgit S. on Saturday evening in the ORF program “Bürgeranwalt” regarding the tragic incident that happened in her apartment in June 2021: A friend suddenly died during a visit – the reason was a tear in the aorta. An emergency doctor might no longer save the life of the woman in her fifties: “The doctor then said you have to tell me where we should put the body,” says S., with her 14-month-old son and her 14-year-old Daughter lives together.
