67-Year-Old Dies in Basement Fire in Lower Austria

The basement fire with one fatality in Leopoldsdorf near Vienna (Bruck an der Leitha district) on Sunday is likely due to the careless handling of a solid fuel stove by the 67-year-old. The result of the cause investigation was shared by police spokeswoman Manuela Weinkirn on Tuesday in response to an APA inquiry. The resident of the single-family house suffered smoke inhalation and died.
