German minister found dead in hotel: possible cause of death named

Berlin authorities believe that the Deputy Prime Minister of Bavaria, Minister of Economic Affairs, and leader of the Free Voters (Freie Wähler) party, Hubert Aiwanger, who was found dead in one of the capital's hotels, died of natural causes.

As reported by BAKU.WS, this was reported by Tagesspiegel citing sources.

According to the newspaper, the cause of the politician's death may have been health problems. Meanwhile, the police and the prosecutor's office continue their investigation to establish the circumstances of the incident and rule out the involvement of other persons.

According to Tagesspiegel, on November 4 at around 10:30 PM local time (1:30 AM Baku time on November 5), a serious crimes investigation team from the Berlin State Criminal Police Office (LKA), which includes a homicide investigation unit, arrived at the hotel where Aiwanger's body was found.

The day before, on November 4, the death of Hubert Aiwanger became known. His body was discovered at the Neuer Fritz hotel in Berlin.

According to Bild, on that day the politician was supposed to attend the opening of the capital's representative office of the Free Voters party but did not come to the event due to feeling unwell.
