No Confirmation: Report of Hubert Aiwanger's Alleged Death Remains Unverified
Published
A report has appeared in an international online outlet based in Singapore claiming that Hubert Aiwanger, Deputy Minister-President of Bavaria, was found dead in a Berlin hotel at the age of 55. The article is very brief and contains no details about the place, time, or cause.
So far, there is no confirmation from German authorities, the Bavarian State Government, or the Free Voters (Freie Wähler). As far as is known, the Berlin police have also not published any corresponding statement. The report relies on a single account that does not cite any sources.
Hubert Aiwanger has been chairman of the Free Voters since 2018 and has been part of the Bavarian state government since this year. In 2023, he came under criticism over an antisemitic leaflet from his school days, which attracted considerable public attention. The report mentions this background but offers no new facts about his state of health or his whereabouts.
Readers should treat such reports with caution, especially when they come from only one source. Reliable information can be obtained from German news agencies such as dpa, from public broadcasters, or directly from official bodies. Once an official statement is issued, it will be reported.
