Leksand extended the winning streak beat AIK

Mats Löfving was found dead in his home in Norrköping on February 22. A preliminary investigation was opened to rule out that a crime was behind the death. It was dropped by prosecutors earlier in March because there was no indication that the death was caused by another person.

The death was also reported by the police to the Work Environment Agency, in accordance with the Work Environment Act. In March, the authority carried out an inspection at the police, and after that they have now sent a supervisory notice to take part in the police’s investigation as an employer.

— It is according to the routines we have when a serious incident or an accident has happened, says work environment inspector Annika Gladh, who does not comment on the ongoing case.

In the investigation, the police must describe which factors in the work environment they believe may have contributed to the incident and which measures have been taken or are planned.

If, after its review, the Swedish Work Environment Authority considers that the police have not followed the law, the authority can file a criminal complaint with the Public Prosecutor’s Office.

By May 26 at the latest, the police must have sent the investigation to the Work Environment Agency.
