Henryk Gęsikowski Dead: Body Found in Pilgrim House

Actor Henryk Gęsikowski, known to television audiences for his appearance in the series “07 zgłoś się”, has died at the age of 74, according to reports from 24tp.pl and o2. His body was discovered inside a pilgrim house room in Czerwienne after clergy noticed uncollected items on a balcony, with local police confirming that initial assessments have ruled out third-party involvement pending an autopsy by the Nowy Targ District Prosecutor’s Office.

Discovery at the Pilgrim House in Czerwienne

According to 24tp.pl, the discovery occurred when clergy from the Parish of Our Lady of Częstochowa in Czerwienne noticed shoes left on a balcony during the departure of the Mountain Foot Pilgrimage to Jasna Góra on Tuesday, July 28. Concerned by the unattended items, staff checked the room and found the 74-year-old actor dead inside. Pilgrims had set out from Bachledówka on July 22, and investigators established that Gęsikowski had arrived in Czerwienne a week earlier after signing up for the pilgrimage online. Local authorities indicate he likely died during the night preceding the pilgrimage’s departure date.

Police Investigation and Medical Examination

Officers responding to the scene examined the room and told journalists that preliminary findings exclude any foul play or the involvement of third parties in the actor’s death. However, according to police statements reported by 24tp.pl, a formal autopsy will be required to determine the precise medical cause of death. The Nowy Targ District Prosecutor’s Office subsequently confirmed the identity of the deceased to the o2 news service.
