“The young man swam for the ball and about 50 meters from the shore suddenly disappeared below the surface. In these places there is a depth of several meters and undercurrents. In addition, the search was complicated by poor water transparency. It’s a small miracle that the body was found at all, “Schmid added, adding that the young man had apparently had some medical condition. “The autopsy will find out,” Schmid concluded.

According to witnesses, the young man belonged to a party that played football on the shore. He jumped into the water behind the ball that fell on them. The doctor tentatively said that the young man’s heart might have failed after he had jumped into cold water after exercise. The temperature in the dam is less than twenty degrees.
