Overview

  • The Stralsund public prosecutor ended the case for lack of sufficient suspicion after reviewing all evidence.
  • Investigators said no trainer could be shown to have violated a personal duty of care required for criminal liability.
  • Relatives may file a complaint, which would be decided by the chief public prosecutor in Rostock.
  • The investigation had first been closed in May 2022 and was reopened on instruction from the state attorney general after a complaint by the parents.
  • The 24-year-old collapsed during a night march in Bad Sülze in October 2021 after showing walking difficulties, failing an interim drill, needing to be carried, and at times breathing audibly with effort.
