The fate of the two-year-old Valentina touches the heart. The little girl was alone with his dead mother (38) in an old town apartment on Rieder Hauptplatz for at least 24 hours. How it will go on with her is unclear. It was now leaked that the mother had numerous older pulmonary embolisms.
“We have to wait for the result of the forensic autopsy. Experience shows that this will take some time. Before that, everything else is pure speculation and therefore pointless, “says Alois Ebner, head of the Ried / I public prosecutor’s office.
Investigations are still ongoing
However, the first results of the autopsy carried out by the Salzburg forensic medicine department leaked out. In fact, no clear cause of death has yet been established. The histological and toxicological investigations are still ongoing. In a histological examination, tissue samples are viewed under the microscope and examined for pathological changes, for example whether there was an inflammation or a tumor. Toxicology looks at whether drugs, alcohol or drugs were involved.
Numerous signs
In any case, it makes one sit up and take notice that apparently numerous signs of older, pronounced pulmonary embolism have been discovered. In such embolisms, a blood vessel in the lungs becomes blocked, usually with a blood clot. The trigger for this is a thrombosis in the leg and pelvic veins.
