The Autopsy Report

Karl Koch died on May 23, 1989, in a forest near Ohof, Germany. Charred remains, an empty gasoline canister, missing shoes. Official verdict: suicide by self-immolation. Seven months later, a court convicted his associates — suspended sentences, no provable damage. The autopsy report sits with the Federal Prosecutor’s Office. Request for access in 2023: denied. Reason: posthumous personal rights.
