Overdose, Rape: 17-Year-Old in Coma After Ordeal in Vienna Apartment

"One of the men called the rescue services on Sunday because the 17-year-old did not wake up in the apartment," said police spokesman Philipp Haßlinger to APA. Around 9:10 PM, the police arrived at the apartment on Geiselbergstraße together with the Vienna professional rescue service. The girl was successfully resuscitated and was taken to the hospital in a comatose state. She remains in an artificial deep sleep at the Vienna General Hospital (AKH). The 17-year-old is said to have had significant intoxication from narcotics. She showed signs of an overdose. Whether drug paraphernalia or similar items were found in the apartment remains unclear, with the spokesman emphasizing that "he is not aware of any such information."

The teenager is "receiving intensive medical treatment and is currently in stable condition," it was reported in the afternoon from the AKH.

Apartment in Vienna-Simmering: Quartet of Men Denies Sexual Contact with 17-Year-Old

The quartet consists of four Syrians aged between 21 and 35 years. Three of them live together in the apartment on Geiselbergstraße, and the fourth man is believed to be a friend of the trio. All have already been interrogated by the police. They deny any sexual contact with the 17-year-old during the interrogations. Their mobile phones have been secured and are to be evaluated.

According to police circles, the 17-year-old is known to authorities for drug offenses and lives with her parents in Lower Austria. She was reported missing by them last Friday. The four men are said to have "met her on the street in Simmering" shortly before the incident on Sunday, as Haßlinger stated. They reportedly offered her a place to sleep, as they described in their interrogation.

Comprehensive forensic investigations have already been carried out. The further investigations are being conducted by the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, Southern Branch.
