[@Bailey2006a]

Romy committed suicide…never got over the death of her child.

[@gunterangel]

@@Bailey2006a The death certificate gives only heart failure as official cause of death. As you correctly stated she was of course devastated by the tragic death of her teenaged son just about one year ago and had never fully recovered from it. Also just a few years before her death she had one of her kidneys removed because of kidney cancer, and despite the warnings of her doctors she never stopped neither heavily drinking nor the use of drugs to push herself up in the morning nor barbiturates to find sleep. That misconduct might have contributed to her untimely and sudden death. And the suicide-death of her ex-husband and father of her son, Harry Mayen, just three years before, was also a big shock for her. However, absolute certainity will never be achieved as the prosecutor waived the order of an autopsy in order to protect her family. So it is really no exaggeration to say, she'd literally died from a broken heart and sheer emotional exhaustion. It was her husband and father of her son, Harry Meyen, who definitely committed suicide a few years after Romy had divorced him and after becoming depressive about it. Harry had played Keller in this movie.

[@riffdigger2133]

@@gunterangel wow, great information, thank you.

[@riffdigger2133]

@@gunterangel Meyen was a depressive, his condition caused by the torture he had received from the Nazis for being half-Jewish. In 1979, Meyen hanged himself at home in Hamburg. He is buried in the Ohlsdorf Cemetery. His son David Meyen died in an accident two years later.

One of my favorite films. True story of a sociopathic triple spy. His records were only released a decade ago. The movie was a very cleaned up edited version of the actual events. I believe that Terence Young one of the James Bond movie directors ran the sociopath as a triple agent. After the war ended Terrence reported that the ex-spy was now very rich but had no idea where the money came from. Nicholas Booth wrote what is known about this scoundrel in ZigZag. Fascinating read. Highly recommend both as unique.
