This was the result of the autopsy ordered by the public prosecutor’s office, said the Brandenburg police headquarters on Thursday. According to information from the German Press Agency, the man was the musician Boris Pfeiffer. The 53-year-old was a longtime member of the medieval rock band In Extremo. In May last year, however, he left the band to go his own way. According to the police, the 53-year-old wanted to break through a police chain during the demonstration on Monday evening. Police officers stopped him and took his personal details. After that he was able to continue on his way. Shortly thereafter, the man collapsed on the way to his car, said a police spokeswoman. He died a little later in the hospital.
According to the knowledge gained so far, the police have not used disproportionate force, the Bureau said. A criminal complaint against the police regarding this matter was received by the Berlin police’s Internet watchdog. This was forwarded to the specialist commissioner for official offenses of the Brandenburg State Criminal Police Office for further processing.
