German authorities said Friday they found “something significant” in a raid of the home of Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz that could help explain why the 28-year-old purposely crashed the plane into the French Alps.
“We have found something which will now be taken for tests,” a spokesman for Dusseldorf police told the London Daily Mail. “We cannot say what it is at the moment but it may be [a] very significant clue to what has happened.”
But Ralf Herrenbrueck, a spokesman for the prosecutor’s office, specified in a written statement released Friday officials had recovered ripped sick- leave notes “that support the current preliminary assessment that the deceased hid his illness from his employer and colleagues,” the Associated Press reported.
AP also said the torn-up doctor’s notice excused Lubitz from work the very same day of the plane crash that left 150, including three Americans, dead.
Herrenbrueck didn’t elaborate on the nature of Lubitz’s illness.
Reports have floated suggestions he may have been suffering from depression. So far, that diagnosis hasn’t been confirmed.
Officials sifted through Lubitz’s apartment in Dusselfdorf, as well as that of his parent’s home in Motabaur, 40 miles from Bonn, looking for clues to the motive. Ultimately, they removed several boxes and large blue bags from both homes.
