The two lift company employees are suspected of negligent homicide and disruption of public transport, it was reported on March 27.

On March 18, a gondola cabin of the Titlis Xpress ski lift detached from the cable between Lake Trübsee and the mountain station of Stand and crashed down the mountainside. A 61-year-old woman alone inside the cabin was killed.

It has since been reported that the gondola cabin was pushed by an unexpectedly violent gust of wind against a pylon and the impact dislodged the clip that secured the cabin to the cable.
