Tributes to Austrian doctor found dead after COVID-19 anti-vax hate campaign
Euronews says Thousands of people turned out in Vienna on Monday night to pay tribute to an Austrian doctor, who authorities say committed suicide after months of death threats from opponents of coronavirus restrictions and vaccines.
Dr Lisa-Maria Kellermayr, who described herself as a “passionate country doctor”, was found in her surgery last Friday morning at Seewalchen am Attersee, about 60 kilometres northeast of Salzburg.
Investigators ruled out the possibility of foul play, but would not comment on the content of suicide notes that prosecutors had earlier confirmed had been found.
At the end of June, Kellermayr announced on social media and on her website that she was closing her practice, citing security concerns after seven months of threats.
