Autopsy Confirms Fatal Brain Injury in Bautzen Circus Fall as Prosecutors Rule Accident

Prosecutors ruled the fall a non-criminal accident, closing the case.

Overview

  • The forensic autopsy found a severe skull compression caused by a massive blunt traumatic brain injury as the cause of death.
  • Prosecutors said third‑party involvement was excluded, ordered no further investigations, and released the body for burial.
  • Marina B., 27, fell about five meters during a September 27 performance in Bautzen and died at the scene, according to reports.
  • Circus Paul Busch has dismantled its tent and left Bautzen, and it has not provided a substantive response to media questions.
  • The artist’s mother told Spanish TV that long working hours left her exhausted and partly blamed the circus, while a memorial at Circo Stromboli is reported to be planned and relatives traveled from the Balearic Islands.
