VIENNA (Reuters) - Forensic examiners have performed autopsies on 16 of the 71 bodies of refugees found dead in an abandoned refrigeration lorry on an Austrian highway and presumed they suffocated, Austrian police said on Sunday.
A baby girl and three other children were among the dead found in the back of the lorry which was discovered on Thursday on the highway from the Hungarian border to Vienna, where it had been dumped 24 hours earlier. The refugees are presumed to have been from Syria or possibly Afghanistan.
