Ingo Peters from “Looking for a Daughter-in-Law” mourns his father. Shocking: He didn’t learn of his death from the family itself, but from a fan.
"Schwiegertochter gesucht" star Ingo Peters is mourning his father Lutz, who passed away in May at the age of 64. Peters’ mother Birgit ("Stups") announced the news of his death publicly via Instagram.
In an emotional statement, she wrote that a “big heart” had stopped beating. After “numerous illnesses,” his lungs had ultimately become too weak.
However, the family situation adds an extra layer of drama: According to his own account, Ingo Peters did not learn of his father’s death directly from his family, but rather from a fan.
“I just found out. The shock runs deep, for me too. It runs deep in this case because what’s shocking is that I found out through a fan,” Ingo said on social media. Relations within the family have been considered strained for years, and contact has practically ceased.
Peters is equally clear about the lack of information: regardless of existing conflicts, he would have expected to be notified personally. He also suspects he won’t be invited to the funeral.
Peters is also not mentioned in his mother’s obituary. In it, she and her daughter Iris bid farewell to her husband.
