German prosecutors have initiated an investigation into the death of Hubert Aiwanger, Bavaria's deputy prime minister, found dead in a Berlin hotel. Authorities stated there is no initial suspicion of foul play, but all possibilities remain open. Aiwanger, 55, had been serving as deputy minister-president and economy minister since 2018, representing the Free Voters party. He was scheduled to speak at the opening of the party's new office in Berlin but reported feeling unwell earlier that day. The Free Voters party expressed their loss, highlighting Aiwanger's significant influence on the political landscape.
