Duesseldorf: In Dusseldorf, Germany, the media remain camped outside the home of 27-year-old Andreas Lubitz, the German co-pilot suspected of deliberately crashing a passenger jet into the French Alps last week.
German investigators now say that Lubitz had been treated in the past for suicidal tendencies.
German investigators now say that Lubitz had been treated in the past for suicidal tendencies.
Prosecutor Christoph Kumpa says his office has found medical documentation to support its finding.
“Several years ago, the co-pilot underwent psychotherapy for suicidal tendencies during a longer period of time before he received his pilot’s license. After that and until the end, further doctor’s visits led to sick notes without suicidal tendencies or aggression mentioned in them. That was it.”
As the search continues for the plane’s second black box …. the prosecutor says a motive for the crash remains unclear.
There’s been no evidence so far that Lubitz was planning such an attack.
The prosecutor says nothing from Lubitz’ personal life or work life sheds any plausible light on just why the young co-pilot would take his own life in such a dramatic way — and in doing so, also take the lives of 149 others on board the doomed flight.
