Germany's Free Voters leader and Bavaria's deputy premier, Hubert Aiwanger, has been found dead at 55 in a Berlin hotel.
Police found no signs of foul play, and the death is believed to be health-related, according to Anadolu Agency, which cited Bild's reporting from Bavarian government and Berlin police sources. The cause of death has not been confirmed.
Why it matters: Aiwanger led the Free Voters, the junior partner in Bavaria's state government, so his sudden death opens a leadership question in Germany's largest state at a moment of national political flux.
