Dead man walking - suspected suicide found alive in monastery
Croatian Times
A 68-year-old Vienna man thought to have committed suicide in
Croatia has been found alive and well at a monastery in Upper Austria,
the Austrian Federal Crime Office (BK) said.
The man is believed to have faked his suicide to avoid charges that he had abused his daughter.
The
man jumped off a ferry in Croatian waters in front of dozens of
witnesses in an apparent suicide. The Croatian police concluded he had
committed suicide.
But the man had arranged for a motorboat to
pick him up and he fled to the monastery last October. A Pupping
monastery official said: "He said he was interested in faith and wanted
to join us. He worked as a gardener.
“We did not ask him where
he came from. Our doors are open for everyone – for friend and foe. But
we never thought he had such a background story.
“He cycled to the shops in the neighbouring town everyday, but most of the time just bought cigarettes,” he added.
Police found out about the man’s background and his attempt to escape justice during a random traffic check, Austrian Times has reported.
As Croatian Times reported in September last year the Austrian has jumped from a ferry close to
the Adriatic port of Zadar, Croatia.
The
Austrian had been travelling aboard the Jazine ferry boat on the route
from Preko Island to Zadar when he reportedly jumped into the sea.
