Regierung in Bayern: Keine Anzeichen für Fremdverschulden bei Aiwangers Tod
Nach gesundheitlichen Problemen sagt Hubert Aiwanger einen Auftritt in Berlin ab. Am frühen Abend wird der 55-Jährigen leblos in einem Hotelzimmer gefunden – was ergab die Obduktion?
Bayern's Vice-Chancellor Hubert Aiwanger died without any signs of external wrongdoing, according to the preliminary results of his autopsy. The state prosecutor in Berlin announced this following the initial medical examination of his body, which took place earlier in the day. Further forensic investigations are ongoing as part of the established death investigation procedure.
Aiwanger, who was 55 years old, was discovered lifeless in a Berlin hotel on Wednesday after he was unable to deliver a speech at the opening of a Free Wähler's main city office due to health issues. The prosecutor's office initiated a "death investigation procedure" following his discovery. Police were present at the scene and began collecting evidence from the hotel.
The 6th Murder Commission of the Berlin Landeskriminalamt (LKA) is investigating the case to exclude any possibility of external culpability. It is currently unknown who discovered Aiwanger; the LKA spokesperson in Munich did not provide further details. The Minister of Economy for the Free State was accompanied by officials from the Bavarian Landeskriminalamt during his time in Berlin.
No information was given about the precise circumstances of Aiwanger's discovery due to investigation tactics. The sudden death of the contentious politician evoked shock and disbelief across party lines and beyond the Free State.
