His friends immediately tried to help.
However, their
attempts at resuscitation
were unsuccessful.
The
emergency services of the Rottach-Egern mountain
rescue service
were also on hand with a
rescue helicopter
and initiated a resuscitation, but were ultimately only able to determine the death of the 54-year-old from Stuttgart.
In cooperation with the
Alpine Task Force in Rosenheim
, the
Rottach-Egern mountain rescue service
brought
the deceased into the valley.
The six escorts were accompanied by the emergency services and
looked after
by a
crisis intervention team
.
It
is still unclear
what the
cause
of the sudden collapse of the hiker was.
The Bad Wiessee police station also has no
more detailed information on the cause of death
.

Tegernsee Alps: Coronavirus presents Rottach Egern mountain rescue service with new challenges
Unfortunately, the
terrible death
in
Bavaria is
no exception.
Hiking tourists and day trippers
regularly have accidents
in the Alps.
In times of the coronavirus, hiking has grown in popularity.
Many popular hiking routes are overcrowded and
accidents are
increasing.
The mountain rescue service at the
Tegernsee
recently had repeated operational records in Rottach Egern.
This poses
major
problems for
the mountain rescue services
,
especially during the week
.
Most of the time, the rescuers are volunteers and work full-time.
Personnel is so often scarce.
The emergency services are also challenged by new hygiene regulations.
"The
virus
presented us with completely new problems," said Adi Boemmel (55), who is on duty, to Merkur.

A man also had an accident in Tyrol when he fell into the mountains.
However, he was walking barefoot.
A woman fell 200 meters near Garmisch-Patenkirchen.
