Last Monday, Michael Schanze found his partner of many years, Uschi Köhl, lifeless in the conservatory of their home in Munich.

Michael Schanze: "Uschi didn't complain"
In "Bild" today, Michael Schanze talks about the worst moment of his life.
"The doctor confirmed to me that there was no possibility of rescue," says Michael Schanze. And he continues: "There have been completely different, terrible outcomes to brain injuries."
When asked whether there had been any omens, Schanze says: "Recently, Uschi has often been very tired - quite the opposite of her usual alert nature."
In addition to her normal medication, his girlfriend had been taking a sleeping pill every now and then recently. "Otherwise everything was normal. Uschi hasn't complained."
His brother is now at his side
According to Bild, the sudden death of his girlfriend has thrown the otherwise cheerful Michael Schanze completely off course. At the same time, the TV star is grateful "that my brother Christian is by my side".
His brother Christian, who is three years younger, works as a psychiatric specialist in a clinic not far from Munich.
"He helps me, because I'm still a bit confused in my head," says Schanze, who is also being supported by his three sons during this difficult time.
Michael Schanze currently has to take care of a lot of organizational matters - such as the funeral service. "The ceremony will be held on a small scale. We have talked about a gathering with close friends, but nothing has been decided yet."
