A man from Bavaria was beaten unconscious by an unknown person in St. Johann and robbed.

His six-year-old son drowned in the river.

St. Johann – Unbelievable drama in Tyrol: A man from Bavaria was beaten unconscious by strangers and robbed in St. Johann on Saturday (27 August).

His disabled son tried to escape from the buggy.

The child drowned in the Kitzbüheler Ache.

Little Leon suffers from syngap syndrome, a rare genetic defect that significantly slows down motor and mental development.

His parents - his father used to be a mountaineer in Bad Reichenhall - had started an aid campaign: the money was intended to finance research into rare genetic defects - especially the relatively little-known syngap syndrome.

Six-year-old Leon drowns in river: Father beaten unconscious and robbed

Leon's dad is a personal trainer in Salzburg, and he and his wife also run a physiotherapy and massage practice in St. Johann.

Early on Saturday morning he had put the six-year-old in a buggy to walk with the boy on the Redford Promenade, which runs along the Kitzbüheler Ache.

That wasn't unusual, these walks had often calmed Leon down.

An unknown person must have approached from behind near a jetty and hit the man from behind with a bottle.

Leon's father lay unconscious.

The robber took his wallet and cell phone and fled undetected.

A passer-by discovered the empty stroller and the injured father at around 5:20 a.m.

He asked about his Leon.

A search operation was initiated immediately - the child was discovered dead a little later on a sandbank on the Kitzbüheler Ache.

The police suspect that Leon got out of the stroller, fell into the Kitzbüheler Ache and drifted around 600 meters.

According to the police, there were no signs of external violence.

The autopsy of the little one was scheduled for yesterday.

Psychologists look after the family.
