Berlin - Mirco Nontschew was only 52 years old when he was found dead in his Berlin apartment on December 3, 2021.

His friends, colleagues and relatives had tried to contact him for days and finally notified the police, and the fire brigade gained access to the apartment.

Mirco Nontschew: Away from the stage, calm and humble

The comedy world has been in mourning ever since.

Stars and companions such as Otto Waalkes, Janine Kunze and Tanja Schumann said goodbye publicly with emotional words.

In a contribution to the RTL program

“Exklusiv - Weekend”

, Schumann and Kunze describe him away from the stage as a person who looked humble and did not seek the limelight.

For more anonymity, he is said to have even considered emigrating to the USA.

“Mirco looked modest and unpretentious.

He was a favorite colleague because he was so unpretentious and didn't push himself into the foreground, ”said Schumann.

Neighbors are said to have described him as a withdrawn man who likes to make music, the article says.

Mirco Nontschew: Confusion about cause of death

But the public still worries about Mirco Nontschew's death. The cause of death was initially unclear and an autopsy was initiated. The

then reported the result, citing information from police circles: There were no signs of suicide or external influences. Manager Bertram Riedel, who has been speaking for the family since Nontschew's death, explained in

Bild

that the autopsy had been completed. “He died of natural causes. That is the reason for his too early death, "said Riedel. The public did not want to comment on a more precise cause of death.

Then the role backwards: According to

dpa

, the public prosecutor's office should have denied a completed autopsy.

Martin Steltner, press spokesman for the Berlin Public Prosecutor's Office, said: "The death investigation has not yet been completed."

When Mirco Nontschew actually died is unclear.

A WhatsApp message that TV producer Otto Steiner wrote on November 30th went unanswered.

He had last worked with the comedian.

Nontchev's manager speaks for the family and asks for an end to the speculation

The family then spoke again about their manager in “Exclusiv - Weekend” and asked not to speculate any further: “On behalf of the family, I would like to thank you for the great sympathy.

Even if the mourning for Mirco overshadows everything at the moment, the many dear words from his friends and companions are a real consolation.

Mirco died much too early at the age of 52.

The family asks that they respect their privacy and stop speculating about the circumstances surrounding his death.
