The body is now to be identified through a molecular genetic comparison. Until a result is determined, about a week will pass, explained the deputy head of the LKA, Philipp Rapold. Until then, nothing more can be said and possible foul play cannot be ruled out. The death of the person found must have occurred several months ago. How long the body had been lying in the difficult to access and hard to see area of the garden was initially unclear. The questioning of the resident has already taken place and so far apparently has not yielded any new insights.
Tyrolean Finds Decayed Corpse in His Garden: Cause of Death Unclear

On Monday, a severely decomposed body was found in the garden of a house in Hall in Tirol, in the Innsbruck-Land district. A resident made the discovery and notified the police. It appears to be a man, the Tyrolean State Criminal Police Office announced on Tuesday. The body was partially skeletonised, which is why an initial forensic autopsy did not provide clarity about the cause of death and identity.
The man had been looking for his cat in the area and stumbled upon the body, Rapold described. The house was a larger complex. According to the information, the aforementioned resident lived there alone.
