This is “completely open,” said investigator Philipp Rapold. The responsible federal safety investigation agency is carrying out surveys on the wreck that has now been recovered. It is most likely that the dead pilot was a 52-year-old German. Appropriate investigations that can unequivocally establish the identity of the dead person are still pending, said Rapold.

However, the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) has no reason to believe that the body could be another person. An autopsy showed that the man died of polytrauma – caused by the impact in the so-called Schrankar.
It will take some time to clarify the cause of the accident
The detective noted how long it would take to gain clarity about the cause of the accident. In addition to the federal security investigation center, the LKA and an expert from the court are also involved.
The 52-year-old is said to have been alone on the way from Italy to Bavaria on Saturday afternoon. Tourists and a hut owner reported a low-flying small aircraft in the Stubai and Ötztal Alps region. Search operations over the past few days had been made more difficult by storms and precipitation, so the search was resumed on Tuesday morning. A police helicopter finally discovered the wreckage of the Cessna 172 in snow-covered, alpine terrain at an altitude of around 2,800 meters.
