Dead 88-year-old recovered from Innkanal – investigations continue
On November 24, 2025, a tragic discovery was made in the Inn Canal near Waldkraiburg: emergency services rescued a lifeless woman from the water at around 4:05 p.m. According to initial information from the Innpulse It is an 88-year-old woman whose identity was clarified on November 25th as part of a missing person case. The grim outside temperatures and the water temperature of around three degrees Celsius may have left the investigative teams feeling uneasy.
The initial rescue measures were initiated by the Waldkraiburg police station. After receiving the emergency call, the emergency services set off as quickly as possible, but found that they could only rescue the woman dead. The Mühldorf am Inn criminal police began the investigation and the ongoing criminal investigation service of the Traunstein criminal police station was called in that same evening to shed more light on the circumstances of the tragedy.
Investigation and autopsy
As the Innsalzach24 reported, the investigations are under the direction of the Traunstein public prosecutor's office, with Commissariat 1 of the Mühldorf am Inn criminal police station taking over the further investigations. In order to clarify the exact circumstances of death, an autopsy was carried out on November 26th at the Institute for Forensic Medicine in Munich.
The result of the autopsy was also clear: there was no evidence of foul play or crime, which largely excludes the possibility of any kind of speculation. This comes as a relief not only to investigators, but also to the local community affected by this sad incident.
The circumstances and sadness surrounding such an incident leave many questions unanswered - especially regarding the safety of dealing with the elderly citizens of this region. Authorities advise people to be careful and take care of the elderly in the neighborhood, especially in the winter months.
Overall, it remains to be seen whether further information from the ongoing investigation will be made public. The community of Waldkraiburg stands together in these difficult times and offers support to everyone affected.
