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.
