Remains in advanced state of decay discovered in Baden-Württemberg region

Mutilated corpse discovered in Baden-Württemberg.

In the Bonlanden district of Filderstadt, Esslingen, a shocking discovery was made on Thursday morning. Employees at a local maintenance yard detected an odour of decomposition and, upon investigation, found a highly decomposed and partially skeletonized body in a suitcase near a stream.

The authorities have established a 44-member special commission to investigate the case, and an autopsy has been ordered to provide more clarity regarding the cause of death. However, the cause of death has not been disclosed by the authorities at this time.

The background, gender, age, and time of death of the deceased remain unclear, and no further details have been provided by the police or prosecutors regarding the identity or circumstances of the individual. It is also unclear if the body was placed in the suitcase before or after death.

The discovery of the body has led to an ongoing investigation by the police and prosecutors, with witnesses being urgently sought to provide any information that may aid in the case. No arrests have been made in connection with the discovery at this time.

This tragic event brings to light the importance of community vigilance and the prompt reporting of any suspicious findings. If you have any information regarding this case, please contact the authorities immediately.

In a heartbreaking turn of events, it has been confirmed that the deceased was a German man from Bühl, Baden-Württemberg, who died in the Comer See in Italy while trying to rescue his two children from the water. The incident occurred shortly before September 1, 2025. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased during this difficult time.

We will continue to provide updates on this developing story as more information becomes available. In the meantime, please remember to report any suspicious findings to the authorities to ensure the safety and well-being of our communities.
