German Minister Commits Suicide Because Of Over-worries For Coronavirus Crisis

German Minister working for Hesse state's finance, Mr. Thomas Schaefer committed suicide over undergoing deep worries about how to face the depression of the economy in the time of coronavirus pandemic. State premier Volker Bouffier declared this mournful news just some hours back.

On March 28, Mr. Schaefer who is at the age of 54 was found dead near a high-speed railway track in Hochheim town. The office of Wiesbaden prosecution believed that the German minister killed himself to death. They have questioned various witnesses and depended on the crime work, the forensic and technical investigations.

In a statement, Mr. Bouffier expressed:

"We are in shock, we are in disbelief and, above all, we are immensely sad."

For the uninitiated, Hesse is the headquarter of Germany's financial capital Frankfurt and the station of several main lenders such as Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank. Even the European Central Bank stations in Frankfurt, too.

Mr. Bouffier further said about Mr. Schaefer's work over the years when he had been the finance chief of Hess for a decade. Recently, the German minister was working day after day to support the workers and companies face the fallout of the economy in the time of the pandemic.

Chancellor Angela Merkel's close ally Mr. Bouffier said:

"Today, we have to assume that he was deeply worried. It's precisely during this difficult time that we would have needed someone like him."

From the depth of his heart, he always treasures and cherishes the popular and respected finance minister as a successor. The same as Mr. Bouffier, Mr. Schaefer also had a position in Dr. Merkel's center-right CDU party. He passed away leaving his family of a wife and two children.
