Overview
- A railway employee discovered the lifeless body in the track bed near Siekhöhenallee during a routine inspection on December 29.
- The man was identified from documents as a 25-year-old from Hannover, and initial checks found no links to Göttingen.
- At prosecutors’ request, the Amtsgericht Göttingen ordered a post-mortem, and the forensic examination is in progress with no results yet.
- Early police findings indicate the body likely lay at the site for several days before it was found.
- The rail line was closed for roughly two hours for recovery and on-site investigations, causing train delays that have since cleared.
