The public prosecutor’s office in the Thuringian capital of Erfurt has launched a death investigation, a police spokesman said on Sunday, which is the standard procedure in such cases of a fire with fatalities: There does not have to be any initial suspicion of a crime.
Ten people were injured in the early morning fire. One body was found. Whether this was a missing 9-year-old can only be determined with final certainty after the forensic medical examination, according to the police.
