Witold Płóciennik death attributed to respiratory failure

An autopsy has determined that film operator Witold Płóciennik died of acute respiratory and circulatory failure. The 56-year-old had been missing since August 29, when he was last seen near Lake Lubiąż in Lubniewice.

His body was discovered on September 3 in a forest complex near Lake Krzywe following an extensive search operation involving police, firefighters, soldiers, and specialized rescue teams using drones, helicopters, and tracking dogs.

Investigators from the District Prosecutor's Office in Gorzów Wielkopolski stated that the autopsy showed no external or internal injuries, and there are no signs of a struggle. The findings have ruled out both suicide and the involvement of third parties. Forensic experts have collected tissue samples for microscopic analysis to more precisely determine the exact cause of the respiratory and circulatory failure. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities await a full written opinion from forensic medical experts.
