AnNa R. can be buried
The Berlin police had initially opened an investigation into the cause of death. According to the public prosecutor's office, the file will now be closed.

The body was released for burial.
The investigators in Berlin had initially not completely ruled out the possibility of third-party involvement, even if the traces found in the apartment did not point to a crime involving massive violence.
There were no slashed wrists or knife wounds, police sources told the Berlin newspaper "Morgenpost" at the beginning of the week.
