On August 19, 2025, a 37-year-old man from the homeless community was found lifeless, floating in the New Danube in Vienna-Floridsdorf. After an initial arrest at the end of August, another suspect has now been arrested. He partially confessed and also implicated the other suspect.

The investigations quickly assumed a violent crime after the body was found. This was partly due to drag marks registered on the shore near the discovery site at the Nordbrücke. According to a judicial autopsy, the 37-year-old had injuries from blunt force trauma to the head area. These led to the man's death. Through investigations in his environment, the first suspect was then arrested.

During his interrogation, he partially confessed and also implicated the second suspect. The 41-year-old is now also in a detention center.
