Death

Claus-Brunner was found dead on 19 September 2016 along with a 29-year-old man Jan Mirko L. in an apparent murder suicide.[2][3][4][5]

The autopsy came to the result that Claus-Brunner had committed suicide and that the 29-year-old man had been killed days earlier. On 21 September, a parcel service gave an undeliverable parcel to the police; Claus-Brunner had sent it to a former longtime companion. The parcel contained a letter in which Brunner confessed to having killed the man. Brunner had been in love with him; Brunner's final twitter tweet was a photo of that man.[6]

gollark: Incorrect.
gollark: GTech™ *regularly* works with apiopyroforms, they are not "mythical".
gollark: That could be anywhere from 280 Kelvin to 35 gigakelvin, so that might be a bit problematic.
gollark: Oh, you mean an apiopyroform.
