Autopsies Confirm Trauma Killed Three in Görlitz Building Collapse

The findings rule out gas poisoning or a pre-explosion homicide, leaving investigators to wait for a specialist firm to stabilise the rubble before forensic work can probe the collapse cause.

Overview

  • Preliminary post-mortem results released by the Görlitz public prosecutor say all three victims died from traumatic injuries caused by the building collapse.
  • The autopsies explicitly rule out death from gas poisoning and find no evidence that any homicide occurred before the suspected explosion.
  • Investigators cannot access the unstable wreckage to collect further evidence while a specialist firm secures and stabilises the debris.
  • The victims have been identified as Georgiana Rusu (25), Simona Marcu (26) and Ahmed M. (48), and local memorials have marked the site.
  • Authorities say the inquiry remains open and may take considerable time as forensic teams examine technical, material, negligent or intentional causes once the site is safe.
