Austrian police believe that the victims are undocumented migrants, who tried to get to Germany. The police will have to clarify the identities of the victims, as they had no documents, the publication reads.

It is noted that the migrants were already unconscious at the time of the incident, because they had arrived at the station in a freight train during cold weather and strong wind. The employees of the station launched the elevating loader's engine 15 minutes before the procedure, however, the migrants did not run away, according to the media outlet.

Forensic scientists will check, however, the reliability of this version.
