It is currently only certain that since August 31, construction work has been carried out on the building in Färbergasse. The expansion of the attic had been approved. The building police were already at the accident site, and there was already a meeting of all parties involved to clarify the further course of action, reported Dittrich. After the recovery of 85-year-old Inge Troch – one of the country’s most renowned mathematicians and a high-ranking member of the Vienna evangelical community – the site was handed over to the police by the professional fire brigade.

In the night to Monday, the ceilings collapsed over three floors. The 85-year-old was recovered dead from the rubble in the night to Wednesday after almost two days of searching under difficult conditions. She had been searched for after she was neither among the evacuees nor found at her secondary residence. The woman was buried under wall parts and debris. It was assumed that she probably died immediately in the collapse. An autopsy was ordered.

A total of twelve people were registered in the house in Färbergasse. A 57-year-old woman fell from the third floor and was freed with serious injuries after hours. Two other people were also rescued from the house. The residents were temporarily accommodated in a hotel. The property owner – a real estate company – emphasized to the „Presse“ (Thursday edition) that the construction work was approved as planned and the plans were released by the civil engineer. Furthermore, „the construction work was carried out as planned and approved after proper inspection,“ according to a legal letter from the property owner, as reported by the „Presse“.
