Two days after a deadly police check in Mannheim, a man in Pforzheim is said to have died as a result of the use of officials.

Because the partner of the 46-year-old had expressed this suspicion, the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) Baden-Württemberg determined according to information from Friday.

Investigations are also ongoing into another case of possible police violence in Pforzheim from October.

According to current information, the 46-year-old died in his Pforzheim apartment on Wednesday night.

According to the LKA, he had been treated in the hospital the day before for an alleged fall on a staircase and then released himself against the advice of the doctors and despite the fact that his life was in danger.

However, his partner suspected that the reason for the injuries was not a fall down the stairs, but an incident four days earlier at a police station.

According to LKA information, police officers checked the man on April 29 and found narcotics.

A day later he appeared at the station and asked for the evidence back.

According to the police officers, they gave him a place reference.

But because the 46-year-old didn't leave, they threatened to push him out of the station using "immediate coercion".

The man fell.

However, he had neither claimed injuries nor had any been found.

The man had gone.

The body will now be autopsied

The LKA said: "The previous checks and the information provided by the doctors at the hospital currently point to the long-term addiction to narcotics and the resulting health condition of the man as the cause of death.

A causal connection between the fall and the event of death therefore does not appear to exist at the present time.”

The body will now be autopsied to clarify the cause of death and possibly get insights into other injuries.

The public prosecutor's office has also initiated a preliminary investigation to check whether there is an initial suspicion of a criminal offence.

It was not until Monday that a 47-year-old died in the hospital after a police check in downtown Mannheim.

Here, too, the officials had used "force".

According to the public prosecutor's office, a complaint has now been filed against the two officers.

It came from an uninvolved third party, a spokesman for the authority replied when asked whether relatives of the deceased had filed the complaint.

Since the public prosecutor's office and the LKA are already investigating the case, the report has no particular consequences.

Meeting planned against police violence

As the spokesman for the public prosecutor's office further announced, they have received a handful of submissions dealing with the case.

In particular, it expressed displeasure and dismay at the incident, the spokesman said.

There are also links to videos on the Internet that are intended to show excerpts of what is happening.

"These are known recordings."

According to the authorities, investigations into the case will take a few more weeks.

According to the police, a meeting against police violence is planned for Saturday in downtown Mannheim.

At the end of October, a police operation also caused a stir in Pforzheim: officials wanted to take a drunk and aggressive 25-year-old man into custody.

Video footage circulated showing, among other things, a police officer beating the man who was lying on the ground and fixed.

This triggered heavy criticism.

The man suffered minor injuries, police said.

Again, he injured an officer so badly that he had to stop working.

In this case, the Stuttgart police are examining the actions of the Pforzheim colleagues.

A spokesman for the public prosecutor's office in Pforzheim said on Friday that the investigation was not yet complete.
