Baden-Württemberg: Senior falls from the balcony while attaching decorations and dies

Holzgerlingen (dpa / lsw) - A senior fell from the balcony in Holzgerlingen (Ludwigsburg district) and died. As the police and prosecutors announced on Wednesday, the 85-year-old probably wanted to put Christmas decorations on the balcony on the second floor. He climbed a ladder, fell down for initially unknown reasons, over the balcony railing and about five meters down onto a lawn. A rescue helicopter took the man to a clinic on Monday, where he died shortly thereafter.
