The investigators assume an accident after the first investigations. However, the exact circumstances that led to this tragic fall have not yet been finally clarified.

In situations like this, it is important to respect those affected. The loss of a young life is a profound tragedy, which often also puts the affected community in grief. It is a memory of how suddenly and unexpectedly life can change and what caution is required in dealing with altitudes.
