Death investigation proceedings - Dead man in building with bank in Saarlouis - large-scale police operation

At a large-scale operation in Saarlouis, police found a deceased person in a business building with a bank. "At the beginning of the operation, there were indications of a possible firearm use," the Saarland State Police Headquarters in Saarbrücken announced. Therefore, police officers cleared the area in the city center of Saarlouis and established a wide-ranging blockade. However, the indications of a possible "firearm incident" were not confirmed by the police.

Cause of death unknown

"Whether 'self- or external influence' caused the man's death is the million-dollar question - at this point, we cannot make any statements, as the crime scene investigation is still ongoing," explained a police spokesperson. "There won't be anything new coming out of this today." A death investigation procedure is currently underway with investigations in all directions.

A call for help had gone out that there was an unresponsive person in the building with a financial institution. The initial suspicion of a possible firearm use in local connection with a bank triggered the large-scale operation, the police spokesperson said. Special operations forces, as well as officers from the Operational Unit in Saarland and a forensic doctor, were also present. Renovation work in the business building had complicated the operation. The police spokesperson made no statements about the deceased person.
