According to police, the boy fell from the inflatable boat at about 4:30 p.m. for reasons not yet established and without outside involvement, then immediately sank.

He was recovered lifeless at about 5:10 p.m.; resuscitation attempts were unsuccessful, and the area around the lido was cleared and cordoned off.

On 13 August, Criminal Police Korbach took over the investigation; the boy had been at the lake during a holiday program with supervisors and other children, while the supervisors were not on the boat with him.

Investigators are examining who accompanied the boy on the boat, whether he could swim and whether he was wearing a flotation aid.
