Emergencies - Walkers find body in the Eisbach
One week after the disappearance of a 26-year-old man in Munich's Eisbach, passersby discovered a body in the water. It is unclear whether this is the missing student from Baden-Württemberg. The spokesperson of the Munich Police Headquarters stated that the deceased has not been identified yet. The male corpse is now being examined in the forensic medicine institute. Previously, the "Abendzeitung" and "Süddeutsche Zeitung" had reported on this.
The 26-year-old was last seen with friends at the English Garden on the last weekend of June. They were at the Eisbach. According to police reports, he went into the water at a certain spot for cooling off. After some time, his friends noticed that he was missing. A search for the missing person, including divers, was unsuccessful.
According to the city's statements, there is a general swimming ban in the Eisbach. Surfing in the Eisbach wave at the Haus der Kunst is the only allowed activity - for experienced surfers.
Despite the swimming ban in the Eisbach, leisure activities like surfing are permissible for skilled surfers near the Haus der Kunst. Unfortunately, accidents can still occur during such recreational activities, as evidenced by the recent incident in Upper Bavaria's Munich. The disappearance of a swimmer last month triggered an extensive emergency search, but the missing individual was not found until a week later in the same body of water. The exact circumstances surrounding this accident remain under investigation by the forensic medicine institute in Bavaria.
