Overview
- Emergency services recovered a body from the Isar near the Ludwigsbrücke and identified him as 19-year-old Remo Aimé Pollert on the morning of May 9.
- Reports citing a postmortem say Pollert suffered a broken vertebra and drowned, a conclusion published by multiple outlets after the autopsy.
- Friends say Pollert had been at the Technoclub Blitz on the Museumsinsel before leaving for the river, but no reliable eyewitness account explains what happened at the bank.
- His parents held an open-casket farewell at a Westfriedhof funeral home and a burial is planned for Friday, May 22, at Bogenhausener Friedhof in the grave of his step-grandfather Werner Kreindl.
- Classmates and friends have created riverside memorials and personalized the coffin and clothing, and the high public profile of his family has intensified media attention even as investigators lack the testimony needed to fully reconstruct the night.
