Two fatal swimming accidents in Carinthia

Despite these measures, only the death of the man could be determined. The police inquiries revealed that the Lower Austrian holiday guest had gone swimming alone in the Turnersee in the midday hours and drowned.

81-year-old found in Klopeinersee

An 81-year-old man from Wolfsberg apparently died in a swimming accident in Klopeinersee (Völkermarkt district) on Saturday. As the Carinthian state police announced in the evening, around 4:50 p.m., two pedal boat drivers discovered the man who was floating lifeless in the lake about 150 meters from the shore.

A doctor present at the lido pulled him onto a SUP and carried out resuscitation measures until the emergency doctor arrived, but these were unsuccessful.
