A gruesome discovery was made on Tuesday afternoon, July 16. A man spotted a drowning victim in the Bóbr River, between the viaduct and the bridge on Mostowa Street.

The body, recovered by firefighters, was already in a state of decomposition, so no resuscitation efforts were undertaken.

The police and prosecutor’s office investigated the circumstances of the man’s death. Investigators initially ruled out the involvement of third parties.

The deceased’s identity has already been established. He was a 55-year-old Bolesławiec resident. The man drowned in the Bóbr.
