Deadly bathing accident: man drowns in the excavator lake of Treuenbrietzen

Treuenbrietzen, Deutschland - A tragic bathing accident occurred on June 14, 2025 at the quarry lake in Treuenbrietzen. A 54-year-old man from Romania went into the water near the bathing meadow on Belziger Straße and B102 around 3 p.m. and suddenly no longer appeared. Bavarian guests who watched the incident jumped into the lake immediately and pulled it out. Despite the quick attempts at resuscitation on the bank, the emergency doctor could only determine the death of the man, such as Maz-online.de announced.

The police do not assume any external influence, since at that time there were no other people in the immediate vicinity of the man in the water. The body was confiscated for further investigations, the criminal police have targeted the cause of death. It is also checked whether health problems or alcohol consumption could have played a role. The man worked for a Romanian company in Germany and his family has already been informed.

health risks when bathing

The incident not only raises questions about the circumstances of the accident, but also emphasizes the risks that exist when bathing. According to information from wikipedia there can be a so -called bathing death, which is often not caused by drowning. This usually happens as a natural death when bathing, caused by sudden illnesses such as heart attack or brain bleeding, which can lead to breathing or circulatory arrest. In these cases, lungs and gastrointestinal tract are mostly water-free in the autopsy.

The drowning itself usually happens through water aspiration. These tragic events can occur at any time, even with well -prepared swimmers. Therefore, security measures on the water are essential. Children who often cannot estimate the scope of their actions, as the German Life Rescue Society (DLRG) has noticed, are particularly at risk. Accidents often happen in a brief moment of the inattentiveness of the parents, so a constant supervision is required, especially in the case of non -swimmers.

rules for safe bathing

In order to avoid bathing accidents, some basic rules should be observed. According to Br.de it is important not to go into the water with full stomach before swimming and to leave the water immediately when thunderstorms. Children should always be under supervision in the water and never go swimming alone. In addition, swimming in inland waters without a lifeguard offers additional risks.

The Baggersee in Treuenbrietzen, which is considered the official bathing water and is regularly checked for water quality, currently has no rescue swimmer at the bathing area. When the next refreshment in the cool water, all bathers should always be attentive and adhere to the precautionary measures described in order to be able to enjoy the summer.
