Bremen – He just touched the door to his practice. Little did he know that it was electrified. The electric shock he suffered was fatal for a doctor (53) from Bremen.

Was it a stop? OR AN ACCIDENT?

It happened on Wednesday in the Psychological Institute of the University of Bremen: Around 4.30 p.m., an employee (37) grabbed the handles of the two entrance doors. She was electrocuted, screamed, and luckily was only slightly injured.

The 53-year-old noticed the incident and rushed to the woman’s aid. He too grabbed the electrified doorknobs, collapsed and slumped!

The alarmed fire brigade immediately began resuscitating the man who, according to BILD information, is said to be the renowned child psychologist Claus J.

While the emergency services were fighting for his life, a firefighter (32) suffered another, life-threatening electric shock at the door. The 32-year-old was able to be resuscitated.

The rescue attempts for the learning therapist, however, remained in vain.

Since it was initially unclear whether other doors were still energized, the fire brigade evacuated eight children from a therapy room in the practice through a window using a turntable ladder.

Several witnesses had to be given psychological attention. Including the daughter of the doctor who was killed.

It is unclear why the practice entrance was energized. An officer from the control center to BILD: “We cannot say at the moment whether it is an accident or a criminal offense.” It is said that the building was recently renovated.

Renovation work Cause of fatal electric shock in practice?

After the fatal electric shock in a doctor’s practice in Bremen, the criminal police are investigating whether recent renovation work could be a possible cause.

TÜV expert Frank Roland (59) on BILD: “If the supply line to the electric motors is defective, 230 volts can flow into metal door leaves. Even if the whole system was connected incorrectly, something like this would be conceivable. “
