Convicted of negligent manslaughter at home: Former helper now seeks permission to appeal 6,000 kroner fine.

On the morning of January 31, 2024, the 44-year-old accused man helped a resident at the housing facility on Centervej in Kolding get into the hot tub at the facility.

The water in the hot tub was so hot that the resident, who was developmentally disabled, suffered second- and third-degree burns in the hot tub.

The resident died a little over a week later, on February 7, 2024, as a result of the burns.

The 44-year-old continued working at the facility until November 2025, when Kolding Municipality decided to release him from duty following the police's charges against him.
