After the surprising death of CDU MP Karin Strenz, the cause of death is still unclear.

A passenger who sat on the plane with strength now describes his impressions.

Dublin - The CDU politician Strenz collapsed on a plane on a return flight from Cuba to Germany on March 21, as the spokesman for the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania group in the Bundestag, Eckhardt Rehberg, announced.

Despite an emergency landing in Ireland, the 53-year-old could no longer be helped there.

The cause of death has not yet been clarified.

Now, for the first time, another passenger who sat on the plane spoke with the

newspaper that he met the politician and her husband in a hotel in Cuba.

“We were ten days at the same time at the Hotel Meliá in Varadero.

In the first few days, the CDU politician was still very loud and conspicuous.

She celebrated with other hotel guests in the morning at the bar and presented other hotel guests with photos of herself and her friend Angela (Merkel, editor).

It emphasized its political importance for our country, ”remembers the entrepreneur.

The entrepreneur told

that he believed the death of Karin Strenz could have been "avoided".
