Repatriation from Africa – Death on Kilimanjaro: Waiting for Philipp P.

There is probably nothing worse than losing your own child. But certain things make the situation worse. That’s exactly how it is in the case of the P. family from Schwand im Innkreis. As reported, the family’s 27-year-old son died of altitude sickness last Tuesday while climbing Africa’s highest mountain, the 5,895-meter-high Kilimanjaro. Since receiving the news of his death, the family has been working on repatriating the body so they can say goodbye. “The family is currently doing everything they can to get Philipp back. It is important to clarify everything with the insurance company and the undertaker beforehand. “Everything else is of no interest at the moment,” says Daniela Probst, mayor of Schwand and a close friend of the family who does her best to protect herself from the public.
