At 6.45 p.m. on Tuesday, there was sad certainty: bathers in Lake Echinger came across the corpse of the missing Brass Wiesn visitor.

Eching

- Hundreds of volunteers, police forces, a dog unit and even a helicopter with a thermal imaging camera had been looking for Tobias for four days.

On Tuesday evening, a swimmer discovered him floating on the surface in the middle of Lake Eching.

The police suspect that the 25-year-old lay at the bottom of the lake during the feverish search and that the body swelled up after a long period of lying there and the high temperatures.

"We concentrated our search massively on the shore areas," said police spokesman Andreas Aichele on Wednesday, "in the hope of finding him alive there."

Spokesman suspects that the thick riparian forest has prevented the view of the missing person

A helicopter flew over the lake several times - "and you can actually see deep into the lake from above".

Aichele suspects that the dense forest along the shore prevented a view of the missing person.

A swimmer discovered the dead man, and two women came to his aid.

Together they pulled the lifeless body to the shore.

"That was very courageous," says Aichele.

The three were then looked after by the BRK.

"They were very taken." The body of the missing 25-year-old was autopsied on Wednesday.

Even after the forensic medical examination, the investigating criminal police in Erding found no indication that third parties might have been involved in the circumstances of the death.

The investigations are ongoing.

Mayor Thaler: Conditions for organizers more extensive than ever

Eching's head of town hall, Sebastian Thaler, found out about the sad end of the search during his vacation - and was also shocked: "There are things that you probably can't prevent." These include the conditions for the Brass Wiesn, which Thaler himself visited until Sunday , this year was as high and extensive as never before - "and based on the current status I can say that the organizer has adhered to all the specifications".

It didn't help that the lifeguards were on duty around the clock during the festival.

"Some things just happen," the mayor said.

He also recalled the hit and run with a seriously injured visitor that had already occurred on Thursday evening.

"And also outside the event area," added Thaler.

In view of such events, the complaints – “six, seven emails” – that he received from residents about the noise at the festival only play a minor role.

The head of the town hall primarily blames the conditions at the campsite for this (“all requirements were met on the festival site”).

However, Sebastian Thaler announced that these topics would be "included in the planning of future events of this size".
