In view of the situation in which the body was found and the result of the initial forensic report, "foul play cannot currently be ruled out," as Anna Gutt, spokesperson for the State Police Directorate, explained to the APA. The State Criminal Police Office is conducting investigations "at full speed and in all directions."

27-Year-Old Was Registered Alone in Apartment in Vienna-Margareten

The woman, who was recently unemployed and registered as seeking work, was registered alone at her address on Zentagasse. She is believed to have been dead in the apartment for at least a few days before her body was discovered, according to the police. Determining the exact time of death is the responsibility of the forensic pathologist, who will consider that the current hot temperatures likely affected the decomposition process.

Over the weekend, witness interviews with relatives and neighbors were underway. Among other things, it remains unclear when the woman was last seen alive. The police have so far withheld details about the injuries and any traces in the apartment. It is currently not confirmed whether a homicide has occurred, said the police spokesperson. Early Sunday afternoon, police investigators were present at the address and tasked with investigations. This was observed by an APA reporter at the scene.
