Overview
- Eva‑Maria R., 47, was found unresponsive in the family whirlpool by her 20‑year‑old son at the Berlin home, and emergency crews could only confirm her death.
- Midzic was on a business trip in the United States when he could not reach her and phoned her son, who then discovered her in the basement spa area.
- Investigators have closed the inquiry after an autopsy found no signs of foul play and concluded a circulatory collapse led to drowning.
- In remarks reported by RTL, Midzic said he struggles with the "finality" of the loss and that nothing he has faced compares to this.
- He said he will prioritize their six‑year‑old daughter, described as autistic in his comments, as the patchwork family processes the loss.
