Fritz Wepper is dead: This is how touchingly colleagues mourn the cult actor. He died in March 2024 after a stay in a hospice in Upper Bavaria.

The last years of his life were marked by health problems. In 2021, he was diagnosed with skin cancer that had already metastasized. A tumor in his abdomen was later surgically removed. He was also hospitalized for over a year in 2021 due to COVID-19 illness. The successful ZDF crime series “Derrick” was launched in October 1974. To date, the cult series has been broadcast in 102 countries.
