Franziska Stegbauer, age 77, attempted to break up a sword fight when she died.
As MSNBC points out, the sword fight was between her brother-in-law and grandson. “Franziska Stegbauer was stabbed during the fight and investigators were trying to determine whether she died from those wounds or a heart attack.”
As she was trying to break up the sword fight, she was stabbed. Although she was stabbed, doctors were not sure if she had died from a heart attack or from the wounds.
The grandson and brother-in-law of Franziska were both injured in the sword match and went to the hospital with wounds. Franziska’s grandson was placed under arrest on a preliminary charge of attempted murder.
Franziska was not breathing when the police arrived and was said to be dead at the hospital.
Franziska’s brother-in-law, age 69, was said to be on the losing end of the sword fight with many stab wounds.
At this time, police are unsure about how the fight started and how swords become involved.
