As the Styria State Police Department announced, he suddenly complained of chest pain about 100 meters below the Karl-Ludwig-Haus (1,804 meters above Adriatic) and sat down. He collapsed and fell about 50 meters on steep terrain. Resuscitation measures initiated immediately were unsuccessful.
The man started the ski tour with friends from Vienna and Lower Austria on the Preiner Gscheid (1070 m above sea level) in the Bruck-Mürzzuschlag district. At around 12:00 p.m. he informed his comrades that he was unwell. After the crash he came to rest in the area of a mountain pine field. The companions immediately dismounted and initiated resuscitation measures, which were then continued by the team from the rescue helicopter that had been alerted. At 1:10 p.m. the emergency doctor pronounced the man dead.
A police helicopter was also used to bring mountain rescuers and an alpine police officer near the scene of the accident. However, because of the wind, it was not possible to retrieve the body using rope. It was finally carried out terrestrially by the Mürzzuschlag mountain rescue service. Investigations into the cause of death are ongoing. There was no evidence of foul play at the scene.
