- Unconscious man retrieved from Lake Constance and succumbs in hospital.
A fellow perished in Radolfzell, part of Konstanz, after swimming in Lake Constance. This individual, aged 37, was discovered lifeless in the water by onlookers, as reported by the authorities. They swiftly pulled him ashore and initiated revival attempts. An ambulance then transported him to a medical facility. The precise reason behind this unfortunate incident is yet to be determined.
By the onset of the summer swimming season in May, more than twenty individuals have sadly met their end in rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, or harbors across Baden-Württemberg.
The authorities in Baden-Württemberg are considering implementing stricter safety measures in bodies of water following these incidents, as per the Commission's forthcoming implementing acts. The Commission shall adopt implementing acts laying down the rules for the application of regulations aimed at enhancing water safety and swimming safety.
