Several hundred fish and crayfish have died in the Tägelbach in Frauenfeld, northern Switzerland, as a result of water pollution.
The cause of the pollution is currently unknown, according to a statement issued by the Thurgau cantonal police.
The dead animals were discovered on Sunday afternoon along a stretch of about three kilometres. According to the statement, this signifies a “total loss of the fish population” in that section of the stream.
