Following the death of a young man from a possibly unknown substance in Basel, a German was arrested on suspicion of failing to provide emergency aid. A 16-year-old is still with the juvenile lawyer.
The man arrested is an 18-year-old German, Peter Gill, a media spokesman for the Basel prosecutor’s office, said Thursday at the request of the Keystone-SDA news agency.
A 15-year-old and a 16-year-old had previously been arrested. The 15-year-old is now on the run again, but the 16-year-old is still with the youth advocate.
A total of four adults and two youths are being investigated on suspicion of failing to provide emergency assistance.
The cause of death is still unclear
The cause of death of the 15-year-old is not yet clear and is being investigated by the Institute of Legal Medicine and the Prosecutor’s Office. Investigators suspect the teenager may have used an unknown substance. “The investigations by the criminal police and the juvenile attorney are still very complex,” Gill said.
The 15-year-old was found dead in a friend’s apartment in Basel around 5 p.m. Monday. He had stayed in the apartment with other classmates and young adults. Paramedics were alerted just hours after the young man’s death.
According to the Prosecutor’s Office, there are no indications of third-party influence.
