The 58-year-old died unexpectedly on November 8. This was announced by the ZAV artists' agency in Munich on November 17 via the German Press Agency on behalf of the family. The cause is still unknown. Instead, a mysterious Wikipedia entry now poses further puzzles.
On the day of Felix Eitner's death, changes were made to his Wikipedia profile. "The person is deceased" was suddenly written in the article.

An acquaintance of the "Polizeiruf 110" star told Bild that Felix Eitner was last online on WhatsApp between 4.30 pm and 6.30 pm. "Then, at 9 p.m., a police car and emergency counselors appeared in front of his house. We don't know what happened," the acquaintance continued. The police confirmed the operation to Bild, but did not comment on any further background. However, the Wikipedia entry was written at 6.35 p.m. - some time before the police arrived. It is still unclear who made the entry and whether it could have been Felix Eitner himself.
