The death of a 19-year-old in Wuppertal-Barmen is apparently cleared up: according to police, he died of a non-communicable disease. That's what the autopsy showed. First, the "Westdeutsche Zeitung" reported about it.

Since the police wanted to preserve the personality rights of the dead, a spokeswoman made no further information on the disease in which the man suffered. However, a foreign debt excludes the police.

The man had been found lifeless more than a week ago in the staircase of an apartment building - according to media reports next to a large pool of blood. The firefighters and investigators had moved into protective suits for safety reasons.
