Munich Park Death Tied to Cocaine Overdose as Police Identify Man Who Moved Body

An autopsy guided by public tips led the homicide unit to drop suspicions of a killing.

Overview

  • The deceased was identified as a 34-year-old Munich resident after a public photo appeal drew about 150 to 180 tips.
  • Investigators report she took cocaine with a 50-year-old acquaintance, collapsed, and died, and the man then placed her body in Forstenrieder Park.
  • Police say the man failed to call emergency services, and he now faces proceedings on suspicion of disturbing the peace of the dead.
  • The discovery initially prompted a homicide-led operation, with extensive forensic work and searches by up to 150–200 officers.
  • Authorities emphasize that final forensic examinations are pending, but the case presently points to a drug overdose rather than a homicide.
