“We mourn the loss of our colleague. Our thoughts are with his family,” the German Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The man was an employee of the German Embassy, but officially worked for the Federal Intelligence Service (BND).
According to BILD, 54-year-old Thomas B. did not come to work for two days and did not answer his phone. His colleagues found his body in an apartment located in Islamabad's guarded diplomatic district.
The last time the German “diplomat” logged on to WhatsApp was on the evening of January 11. According to Pakistani law enforcement officials, Thomas was undergoing treatment for heart problems, which may have something to do with his death.
At the same time, photos were posted on social media showing blood on the deceased's face. The Pakistani police claim that the bleeding began after death. The cause of death has not yet been officially established.
Thomas worked in Pakistan for three and a half years and was considered an experienced specialist in crisis regions.
The Federal Intelligence Service refused to comment on the case.
