Services have recovered additional human remains near the Szczecin waterfront, and police are seeking the individual who provided information about a certain man.
Further Human Remains Discovered
On Wednesday, August 13, the prosecutor’s office in Szczecin confirmed that more remains of a male were recovered. The remains will undergo a post‑mortem examination, with results expected to shed light on the circumstances of the incident. Investigators are treating the matter under Article 162, paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code, which addresses the failure to provide assistance to a person in danger of life or health.
Throughout the investigation, police are also looking for the person who called the emergency line and reported a “man falling into the water.”
Do the Remains Belong to the Missing?
According to sources, it is possible that the victim is a man who jumped into the water on the night of August 8 near the Centrum ferry crossing. The theory would explain why the body was found in fragments, potentially damaged by a screw from one of the vessels. Investigators emphasize that, at this stage, they cannot definitively confirm whether the found remains belong to a single person – the missing individual.
