HUBERT AIWANGER: Erste Details nach Obduktion! Staatsanwaltschaft Berlin äußert sich zur Lage

Investigators have found no indication that another person was involved in Hubert Aiwanger's death, Germany's WELT Nachrichtensender reports, citing preliminary autopsy findings and a statement from Berlin prosecutors.

The brief studio bulletin says the 55-year-old Bavarian deputy minister-president and economics minister was found dead in a Berlin hotel on the afternoon before the report aired. Its central finding remains preliminary: the announcement addresses possible third-party involvement, rather than identifying a specific cause of death.

Aiwanger belonged to the Free Voters, the party that has governed Bavaria alongside the Christian Social Union since the 2018 state election. His position combined responsibility for the southern German state's economy with the deputy leadership of its government.

The Short delivers the autopsy update through a studio presenter and a breaking-news caption, without footage from the hotel.
