On Schneeberg Fell to Death: Details About Teenager

The 14-year-old who fell to his death on Schneeberg on Wednesday evening was, according to police, alone and in casual clothing. The Czech citizen residing in Vienna reportedly had little alpine experience. He was employed as a staff member at a hotel in Puchberg (Neunkirchen district).

Mountain Rescue, Alpine Police, and Helicopter in Action

The teenager's body was discovered Thursday noon and recovered with a rope. There are no indications of third-party negligence in the boy's death, said police spokesman Johann Baumschlager on Friday. The exact cause of the accident or fall is not clarified.

Hotel staff had undertaken a hike to a hut late Wednesday afternoon. The 14-year-old did not want to join due to fatigue. His absence was only noticed at breakfast on Thursday, according to the police, and a search was initiated involving mountain rescue, alpine police, and a police helicopter. Ultimately, the 14-year-old was found with fatal injuries in the steep terrain in the area of the Kaisersteig.
