After a fire at a New Year’s Eve party in Austria left one dead and 21 people, some seriously injured, investigators are investigating the cause of the fire. In the incident in the city of Graz, a fire broke out in the entrance of a bar, a police spokesman told the German Press Agency on Tuesday.
“The decorations and furniture caught fire relatively quickly,” he said. Smoke emerged, causing injuries and possibly the death of a 21-year-old woman. However, the exact cause of death has yet to be clarified by forensic medicine. Of the 21 injured, three required intensive care.
According to the spokesperson, possible causes of the fire include: Firecrackers, spray candles or even a match or a cigarette in question. A technical defect could be ruled out because there were no devices in use in the door area of the restaurant that could be considered a trigger. (sda/dpa)
