Germanwings crash: Co-pilot Lubitz ‘hid illness’

bbc.com

“Alps crash co-pilot Andreas Lubitz hid the details of an existing illness from his employers, German prosecutors say.

“They said they found torn-up sick notes in his homes, including one covering the day of the crash.

“In their report, Duesseldorf prosecutors did not say what illness Mr Lubitz had.” More

“Illness” is rather broad. Could be anything from a bad sinus infection to terminal cancer. Though I imagine something farther towards the cancer end of the spectrum might have caused or contributed to the depression he supposedly was suffering.
