  • The assisted death was confirmed by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Humanes Sterben, which said the sisters planned it in advance after consultations and were accompanied by a jurist and a physician.
  • The entertainers had publicly expressed a wish to be interred together in a single urn, a plan they said was set down in their wills.
  • Reporting on their revised testaments says beneficiaries include Doctors Without Borders, CBM, UNICEF, the Paul Klinger Artists’ Social Fund and the German Patient Protection Foundation.
  • Media coverage also cited a close friend who mentioned health issues as background to their decision, while news agencies corroborated the deaths following the initial tabloid report.
