44-year-old fashion designer Stephan Pelger has reportedly hanged himself. His body was discovered by a neighbour.
The law enforcement officials who responded to the scene of the tragedy on Thursday verified the deceased.
A few months ago, Stephan Pelger left the rehabilitation facility he voluntarily joined. Both severe sleeplessness and sadness plagued him. A neighbour discovered a 43-year-old man hanging at Street C-tin Chiritescu Police Station 8. The demise was verified. The victim is a well-known fashion designer, the police declared.
“On June 8, 2023, the police officers of the General Directorate of Police of the Municipality of Bucharest – Section 8 were alerted, via 112, about the fact that a deceased person was found in a house in Sector 2. The police went to the scene, as well as a medical team that confirmed the death of the person.
The investigations were taken up by the Homicide Service and the Prosecutor’s Office connected to the Bucharest Court in order to determine the reasons and circumstances surrounding the death. In order to do the necropsy, the dead body must be brought to the INML, according to a statement made by the Capital Police.
Stephan Pelger was hospitalized for the first time at the age of 10. “I have suffered from depression since I was 10 years old. The first time I was in a psychiatric centre was when I was 10 years old, here in Romania. Then at the age of 21 in Vienna, then at the age of 34 in Munich and now here, near Bucharest. Depression is a disease we don’t talk about. (…) Nothing worked, the medicine was very outdated. The fix takes a lifetime, but I lost control”, admitted some time ago, the fashion designer.
Romanian celeb, Cătălin Botezatu reacted this way;
“OMG. I don’t know why he could have done that. Two or three weeks ago he was very happy. She went to the doctor for a hair implant. He wanted to look very good. I really don’t understand what made him do this crazy thing. He was not a depressed type.
He had his moments, but not so bad that he would do things like that. He often went to his family abroad, there he recharged his batteries. I really don’t know what happened. I don’t understand. I am not a follower of this gesture.”
