The lands in the men’s well did not collapse.

The cause of men’s death is currently unknown, according to V. Šmigelskienė, the men’s lands in the well did not collapse.

Renata Saulytė-Smalskė, head of the communication department at Vilniaus Vandenys, confirmed that her colleagues had been killed: “A really terrible tragedy has happened.”

Company managers learned “only” of the employees’ deaths, but immediately rushed to the scene to help special services and occupational safety experts explain the circumstances and delve deeper into themselves.

After the death of the entire brigade, the leadership of Vilniaus Vandenai immediately went to the site of the tragedy in the old man of Nemenčinė.

According to R. Saulytė-Smalskė, the company’s management is working in two directions during these hours: It is also an important and difficult mission to inform the families of the victims about what happened as soon as possible and appropriately. Compassion is expressed for the victims.

“We will ensure that our family members receive all kinds of help from our company. We are also committed to ensuring that all the circumstances of the event are identified and explained,” emphasized the Head of the Communication Department of Vilniaus Vandenai.

R. Saulytė-Smalskė stated that he does not yet have precise data on the age of the dead, as well as on his experience in carrying out these positions in the company, performing similar tasks. Three men are said to have died in the “fallen” well, but the fall may not have led to a tragic end, perhaps they were gas poisoned or something else happened, investigators will find.

The age of the dead 15 minutes learned from Vilnius County Police: These are men ages 51, 53, and 65.

It turns out that the first call to the emergency number 112 did not predict such a terrible scenario. A Vilniaus Vandenai employee, likely a dispatcher, reported that “something happened” to a worker while working at the site. Help requested
