“After being informed of this tragic event, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been following up on the issue through legal authorities, including the police,” said Saeed Khatibzadeh.
He said the Ministry has been in contact with the Swiss Embassy in Tehran in the past few hours.
“As for the cause of the incident, we are awaiting the result of the investigation by competent authorities,” he added.
“The body of the deceased has been taken to the forensics lab for necessary examinations, and will be handed over to the Swiss Embassy in Tehran after the examinations are completed,” he noted.
