Among the deceased were three women, two in their 60s and one in her 50s, including an employee of the Åklagarmyndigheten, the Swedish Prosecution Authority. The agency conveyed deep sorrow over the loss of their colleague, highlighting the impact on staff who had worked closely with her. Karolinska universitetssjukhuset also confirmed that one of the deceased was employed there, marking a day of mourning at the hospital.
