Tragic misfortune in Urmersbach: girls (3) and man (48) found dead

in the small municipality of Urmersbach, located in the district of Cochem-Zell in Rhineland-Palatinate, tragic events on Thursday evening caused dismaying reactions. A 3-year-old girl and a 48-year-old man were found dead. This is an incident that raises far -reaching questions, since the exact circumstances have so far been unclear. The Koblenz Criminal Directorate and the Koblenz public prosecutor have started investigations to comprehensively clarify the incident.

Both deaths are in no family relationship with each other. As police spokesman Jürgen Fachinger announced, there is a suspicion that the man committed suicide after the girl had suffered fatal injuries. So far it is unclear how these injuries came about. An autopsy of the body of both people has been arranged to gain more clarity about the causes of death. The results of the autopsy are expected to be available in the coming week, which can possibly contribute to the causes of the incident. The SWR reports that there is usually no report on suicides, but this incident has been in focus on its public scope.

Investigations and public security

The police explicitly asked not to speculate about the background of the incident. This is particularly important because so far no other people were involved in the events and therefore there was no danger to uninvolved people. Despite the sensation, the police initially reported two "seriously injured" people. Rescue helicopters were sent to the use to provide help as soon as possible. However, it remains unclear whether the two people already died at the site or only in the clinics.

Currently, the investigators illuminate any aspect of the incident. The possibility of an accident is not excluded, which further increases the complexity of the situation. Public interest is high and the police are in exchange with the media to ensure transparent reporting.
