Esener, who came to the detached residence where an animal welfare association also operates, lost his balance and fell down the stairs for an undetermined reason. When the neighbors heard the noise and looked outside, they initially thought that the cat and dog food bowls at the foot of the stairs had tipped over.

After the situation was reported to the 112 Emergency Call Center, health and police teams were dispatched to the scene.
