Pilot haunted by secret gay demons:
Police find torn up sick note the day of plane crash
KILLER co-pilot Andreas Lubitz was suffering from gay torment and doctors warned him he wasn’t mentally ready to fly when he crashed a plane into the French Alps.
Police scouring the depressed flyer’s apartment found torn up sick notes for the very day that he deliberately plunged the Airbus A320 into oblivion, they revealed last night.
Two doctors had signed the troubled nightclubber off from work, saying he was “too ill” to take control of a packed passenger plane. But his employers never got the notes and never knew about them.
Lubitz hid six scrapped medical letters – old and new – which showed he had an “existing” condition he kept from his bosses.
It came as gay rumours about the fitness fanatic’s personal life circulated across Germany last night.
Lubitz’ relationship with his girlfriend is said to have broken down and it has been claimed that he was secretly homosexual. He was even taunted by pilot pals for previously being a “trolley dolly” airline steward and dubbed Tomato Andy – a derogatory gay slur.
Officials did not reveal exactly what the sick notes were for, but the 27-year-old is known to have suffered mental health problems.
It was also confirmed yesterday that Lubitz was in hospital just two weeks before the death plunge.
He was treated in Germany’s University Dusseldorf Hospital in February and most recently on March 10.
The centre said he was not treated for depression.
But Lubitz was said to be receiving psychiatric counselling in the days before his murderous flight in the Germanwings plane. And one of his notes was reportedly signed by either a neurologist or psychologist.
Dusseldorf attorney-general Ralf Herrenbrück said investigators found no suicide note and “no reason to suggest political or religious motives” at his home.
“However, documents of a medical nature were recovered which refer to an existing illness and treatment by doctors,” he added.
“There are sick notes saying he was unable to work that were found torn up, which were recent and even from the day of the crime.
“[These] support the assumption... that the deceased hid his illness from his employer and his professional colleagues.”
It also emerged the David Guetta fan enjoyed partying at a German nightclub which holds boozy, circus-themed events involving drag queens and dwarves.
The lively Agostea club in Koblenz lies 20 minutes from the home he shared with his parents in the German town of Montabaur.
The revelations came as German airline Lufthansa, which owns Germanwings, announced it would pay up to e50,000 “immediate financial assistance” to relatives of every victim of the horror crash.
