BERLIN - German investigators have doubts over a media report that Nazi war criminal Aribert Heim, known as "Doctor Death," died in Egypt in 1992, Der Spiegel magazine said.
German public television channel ZDF and the New York Times said in February that that Heim died of bowel cancer in 1992, citing his son and acquaintances in Cairo.
But a report by Der Spiegel to be published Monday said investigators believed the ZDF and Times report did not provide "any proof of his death" and were continuing to examine "every lead" on the Austrian-born Nazi.
In particular, they believe Heim's circle of support during his time on the run was wider than was previously thought, and that he received money via wire transfers from Switzerland and the U.S. and letters and letters and cash from messengers.
