  • Hamburg police report a 39-year-old Dortmund fan died after a fall caused by a shove on the Millerntor forecourt; a 22-year-old was detained and released for lack of detention grounds as the homicide unit investigates and seeks witnesses.
  • In Dresden, a 40-year-old man died during police fixation after balcony disturbances, with an autopsy so far inconclusive, toxicology pending, and prosecutors stating no sufficient indications that officers’ actions caused the death.
