Body in the fairway: diver attracts attention from the police!
On Tuesday evening, June 17th, passers-by discovered a lifeless person in the water of the Elbe between Stade and Haselau. The first emergency call was received at 6:15 p.m. when the body was spotted in the fairway. The fire brigade and police from three federal states – Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony and Hamburg – were quickly alerted. Moin reports that the emergency services were able to remove the body, which was dressed in a diving suit, from the river.
About an hour after the discovery, the dead man was transported to the Pinnau barrage in a police boat. The police have not yet provided any further information about the circumstances of his death or the identity of the deceased. The criminal police have now taken over the investigation and will examine the case in detail.

The situation is a bitter reality: Last year, more than 400 people died while swimming in Germany. This is shown by a current balance sheet from the DLRG, which was recently published. These numbers
prove that safety in the water is often not adequately guaranteed. The mirror represents that water sports and swimming can also involve major risks.
Authorities advise caution and recommend always paying attention to safety when swimming. The sad incidents of the last few days should make us all aware and remind us that dangerous situations can quickly arise in the water. The investigation into the latest case continues intensively and the public will be updated on new developments as more information becomes available.
