Lara Joy Körner’s Son Drowned in the Isar and Was Laid to Rest

Authorities say the death is being treated as a tragic accident and prosecutors are awaiting toxicology results.

Overview

  • Remo Aimé Pollert, 19, was found dead in the Isar near Ludwigsbrücke on May 9 and police report the cause as drowning.
  • A post‑mortem made public by the family found a broken pelvis and a fractured lumbar vertebra in addition to drowning, and officials are still waiting for toxicology results.
  • Surveillance footage from the Blitz club reviewed by his father shows Remo leaving at about 4:00 a.m. in a T‑shirt and without his jacket or phone, but public cameras near the bridge were reportedly switched off and there are no known eyewitnesses to the fall.
  • Family, friends and classmates held vigils and a club memorial before a funeral service at Friedhof Bogenhausen that drew several hundred people and featured personal tributes and a speech by his mother, actress Lara Joy Körner.
  • Investigators say they have found no signs of third‑party involvement so far, but the case remains open with the Munich public prosecutor while forensic tests and a final prosecutorial review continue, a development that may raise questions about safety on the riverbank and gaps in local camera coverage.
