Horrible find
After finding body parts in the Thurgau forest, the canton police say: “Investigations are going in all directions.”
In a forest near Egnach, a man found the remains of a person on Saturday morning. However, according to the Thurgau canton police, “the entire body was not found.” It is not the first time that a corpse has caused a stir in a forest in the canton of Thurgau.
On Saturday morning, shortly after 10 am, a man discovered the remains of a person in a wooded area near Egnach “Sangehölzli”. He immediately informed the police. Specialists from the Thurgau Canton Police Forensic Service and the St. Gallen Institute of Forensic Medicine secured the prints at the scene until night.

Was it an animal?
When asked, Daniel Meili, a media spokesman for Thurgau cantonal police, said that
“The whole body was not found”
has been. For reasons of tactical investigations, Meili does not want to say what exactly the passerby discovered. “But that does not automatically indicate a violent crime.” Animals could also be responsible for the condition of the corpse, depending on how long the corpse has been in the forest.
Meili says that it is also not clear if it is a woman or a man. The remains were transferred to the St. Gallen Institute of Forensic Medicine in order to identify and investigate the cause of death. Meili:
“The investigations are going in all directions.”
The police want to search the forest again next week.
According to the media spokesperson, the man found the body parts on the southern edge of the forest in the direction of the village of Fetzisloh. On the other side, the main road runs between Arbon and Romanshorn and east towards St. Gallen.
It is not the first find of its kind in Thurgau.
It is not the first time that a corpse has caused a stir in a forest in the canton of Thurgau. In late January 2018, Manfred Hunziker found the corpse of a woman rolled up in a green carpet in his forest in Wilderetobel near Zezikon. It was later learned that the dead woman was Isabella T., a missing woman from Aargau. Investigators initially assumed the murder was premeditated. Authorities now speculate that Isabella T. died of a drug overdose. The investigations against the three men continue, it is also about the lack of emergency aid and the alteration of the peace of the dead.
At the end of November this year, the St. Gallen District Court sentenced a 37-year-old Serb to 16 years in prison for the murder of a compatriot. The perpetrator had killed his victim for gambling debts and then burned the body in a wooded area near the village of Pulvershaus. A walker had found the charred corpse in the forest.
