On 2 August 2026, Sibiu police opened a negligent‑homicide investigation after a 41‑year‑old man from Constanța County was found dead in a parked car near the Olimpia pool. The victim had been missing for several days, and detectives began examining the circumstances of his death.

The following day, 3 August 2026, Cluj‑Napoca police launched a similar negligent‑homicide case when a 58‑year‑old man was discovered dead on Corneliu Coposu Street. Early indications suggested a possible fall from height, but authorities have not yet determined whether the incident was accidental or intentional. Both investigations remain active, with forensic examinations ongoing.

These consecutive cases illustrate a pattern of Romanian law‑enforcement agencies responding to unexpected deaths by opening negligent‑homicide inquiries to ascertain the causes and any potential criminal liability.
