BERLIN — Hubert Aiwanger, the leader of a conservative party that has become a mainstay of Bavarian politics and sought to expand its influence across Germany, has been found dead at a Berlin hotel.
The body of Aiwanger, who was Bavaria’s deputy governor and the southern state’s economy minister, was found in his hotel room in the centre of the capital on Wednesday evening, Berlin police and prosecutors said. Prosecutors said that an autopsy carried out Thursday produced no evidence that anyone else was involved in his death.
Was it autoerotic asphyxiation? I bet it was autoerotic asphyxiation!
that’d be an upgrade from the usual predophilia criminality this group of people tends to be neck deep in.
the 55-year-old Aiwanger had planned to make a speech Wednesday afternoon at the opening of a Berlin office of his party, the Free Voters, but pulled out of the event for health reasons.
“pulled out of the event for health reasons” but apparently didnt feel the need to go to the hospital. Idiot until the end.

This should have been enough to give you an idea of the intelligence level

Maß beer, please. He’s Bavarian after all
uno maß
Just wanted to make it understandable for our American friends.
This headline made me realize that “Found dead in a hotel” sounds like they were found dead in their room and probably died of a heart attack or drug overdose, whereas “Found dead at a hotel” makes it sound like they were shot and stuffed in a cleaning supply closet.
Shot twice in the back of the head and stuffed into a locked duffle bag. No foul play suspected.
Didn’t that actually happen to a British spy? Found in a duffel bag and they said they concluded they put themselves in there which was obviously impossible, and then someone related to the case died falling down their stairs

Best I can do is think about it briefly

Looks like natural causes. I was not a fan of his, but 55 is way to young to keel over. He’s leaving a wife and 2 kids behind
Any age is a good age for a Nazi to die.
He was a nazi?
He was a social conservative, so yes. He was a nazi. Also he was busted with nazi paraphernalia several years ago, confirming he was a conservative/nazi.
No, his brother was.
At least that was huberts excuse, when it was discovered, that he had nazi propaganda in his school backpack.
He told that he didn’t write the propaganda, but his brother.
Nazi propaganda?
Wishing jews a “Free flight out of the Auschwitz chimney” or “a ticket to the entertainment quarter Auschwitz” counts as nazi propaganda in my eyes, wether he just distributed this shit for his brother or wrote it himself.
35 years ago
At high school
17 years old
A pamphlet of all things, that he may or may not have written
Can’t drink, can’t go to war, can’t gamble, but we can judge them on it for the rest of their life?
Yep we can. Even a 17 year old should be sensitive enough to not do this kind of shit. Hell, even a fucking 14 year old should be sensitive enough.
If he had showed signs of betterment or at least actual remorse, this might be something else. But as it is, he can and should be judged. Instead he chose to lie about the pamphlet and embrace right wing populism.

Nope. Lemmy likes to dilute the term infinitely.
Found the nazi defender!
Found the parrot
Cockadoodledoo! Fuck nazis!
I suppose he was referring to the incident with the antisemitic pamphlet he got caught with in school and the multiple independent reports from his former classmates stating that he was an extreme right-winger who frequently insulted Jews, black people, and gay people, imitated Hitler, and showed Nazi salutes when entering the classroom, and who allegedly had told Holocaust jokes during a school trip to a former concentration camp.
But as the Bible says: Let he who never got caught with antisemitic pamphlets or told Jew jokes in a former concentration camp cast the first stone.
I don’t know how well the nuance survived translation but in English there’s a lot room besides natural causes involved in saying “no one else involved in his death”
