Body found in the Neckar: Another death near Wendlingen!
On Monday, June 23rd, a male body was recovered from the Neckar near Wendlingen in the Esslingen district. The body was discovered around 11 a.m. by a walker in the area of the Neckar weir on Schäferhauser Strasse and the police were immediately alerted. The emergency services of the DLRG and the fire department carried out the rescue measures, as reported by schwaebische.de.
Investigations into the man's identity and cause of death are currently underway. So far there is no evidence of external influence. The responsible investigators intend to clarify the exact circumstances, which is why an autopsy of the body will be carried out in order to gain further information, as zvw.de adds.
Repeated incident in the Neckar
What is worrying is that this is the second case of this type in two weeks. Previously, a 27-year-old man was found lifeless at a lock near Remseck between two barrages in the Neckar. This series of discovery of bodies raises questions and mobilizes both the police and the public to be vigilant about water safety precautions.
The general situation will continue to be monitored in order to identify possible patterns and optimize prevention measures if necessary. The investigative teams are particularly looking for people who may have noticed anything suspicious in the area. The inquiries to the public are a central part of the current investigation.
The local authorities are calling for anyone to immediately inform the police if they see anything suspicious in order to possibly prevent similar incidents in the future and to strengthen the feeling of security in the affected areas.
