It added that members of Fröhlich’s family initially contacted the fire department after finding her lifeless body, but that police were soon informed.

“As the cause of death was unclear and outside influence could not be ruled out, officers from the homicide squad took over the investigation at the scene in close coordination with the public prosecutor’s office,” the statement said, adding that police divers had been deployed at the scene.

Examination of the scene and evidence has led police to assume that “the woman died as a result of violence.”
