A family of three has died after falling from Germany's tallest observation tower in the Harz Mountains. The victims, two adults and a child, were found at the base of the 213-foot wood-and-steel structure on Thursday evening.
Emergency response and investigation
Firefighters rushed to the scene, but the trio were pronounced dead. Police have launched a major investigation, though the cause of the fall remains unclear. The tower, which cost around 10 million euros to build, features two observation decks and a 'skywalk' with a glass floor at a height of 45 meters.
Support and safety concerns
Authorities have not yet released further details. The incident has raised questions about safety measures at the popular tourist attraction. Samaritans are available for support 24/7 at 116 123 or jo@samaritans.org.
