Thuringia: dead in Weimar courtyard: police assume misfortune

Weimar (dpa/th) - A dead man was found in a courtyard in Weimar. Police believe the man may have fallen from the floor-to-ceiling window of his first-floor apartment, a spokesman said on Thursday. A witness saw the early 50-year-old man lifeless on the floor in the courtyard below the open apartment window in the morning. There were no signs of a break-in or a fight in the apartment. Even if investigations are carried out in all directions, there is currently no evidence of a criminal offence. So far, a time of death between three and five in the morning is assumed. An autopsy should provide more information.
