Since last night, it has been a sad certainty: the two construction workers buried in a cellar vault in Schärding are dead. As reported, the two 23-year-old Syrians were found around one o’clock in the morning after hours of search and rescue work.
Not surprisingly, the accident will most likely have legal consequences. “We appointed a construction expert yesterday,” said Alois Ebner, press spokesman for the Ried public prosecutor’s office, on Wednesday morning in response to a request from OÖNachrichten. The report will provide information about the cause of the accident and whether the accident could have been avoided. It will also be about clarifying the areas of responsibility. “We have initiated an investigation into gross negligent homicide. The report remains to be seen,” said Ebner, adding: “Investigations are being conducted against those responsible. Who exactly that is is currently being clarified.”
