Eat - Male corpse discovered in Essen Park in the undergrowth
In a park in Essen, a man's body was discovered. A police spokesperson stated that it was likely passersby who found the lifeless body in a bush. A paramedic confirmed the death.
Few hours after the discovery of the body around late Monday afternoon, it was initially unclear who the victim was. The cause of death was also unknown. The police spokesperson could not confirm whether there were signs of violence. It was also possible that it was an accident, a medical emergency, or that there had been a missing persons case.
The length of time the body had been lying there was also yet to be determined. An autopsy was to be conducted. Previously, the "Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung" had reported on this.
The body discovered in the park was later identified as Tod, a resident of North Rhine-Westphalia. In light of the circumstances, the Criminal Police were involved due to the underlying uncertainty surrounding criminality. The doctor conducting the autopsy was careful to examine the body found in the bush near Bush Street in Essen.
