A half-naked American au pair was found dead Tuesday in Vienna, Austria, in what authorities were investigating as a murder, according to reports.
The body of Lauren Mann, 25, was discovered lying face down on a mattress near a “considerable amount of blood” inside her apartment,
[. . .]
Her boss reportedly became alarmed after she did not show up at work and called police.
Firefighters knocked down the door to her studio apartment Tuesday night and found the Colorado native, who had been studying and working in Vienna over the last three years, reports say.
Mann’s corpse was found in total darkness because all of the lights in her apartment had burned out, according to reports.
“We are still awaiting the final autopsy report, but are presently treating this as a homicide case,” Vienna police spokesman Thomas Keiblinger told NBC.
Keiblinger added that the blood near her skull might be the result of internal injuries.
Mann had majored in French at the University of Colorado before settling in Vienna to take up German.
