Investigators Find Medication At German Pilot's Home

New reports say Andreas Lubitz suffered from vision problems, adding to earlier claims that he had been deeply depressed.

Probe unearthed medication to treat a mental illness of the co-pilot, who was suspected of deliberately crashing a passenger plane in the French Alps.

As investigators attempt to build up a picture of pilot Andreas Lubitz and any possible motives he had to crash the Germanwings plane, new reports came out on Sunday, revealing that he had some vision problems, which was an addition to reports that he had been deeply depressed, according to Aljazeera.

French prosecutors say that Lubitz isolated himself alone into the Germanwings Airbus cockpit on Tuesday and took his plante into a mountain, which killed 150 passengers.

The German cops could find a number "of medicines for the treatment of psychological illness" during a search at his Dusseldorf home, said newspaper Welt am Sonntag weekly, which quoted an anonymous, high-ranked investigator explaining that he had been treated by multiple neurologists and psychiatrists.

There are other reports that he had also sought medical help for vision problems. German prosecutors also think that he was ill, but the ailment was not clear. He had been ill when Airbus crashed on its way from Barcelona to Dusseldorf, said the AFP news agency.

Lubitz's personality was part of their important line of action, yet it was not the only one, Jean-Pierre Michel, head of the French police's delegation, told journalists in Düsseldorf, according to dw.de.  They had not found any other problems in his personal life, such as relationship trouble, which could explain his behavior. Prosecutors were also planning to look into the co-pilot's computer and question his parents.

Earlier, a woman explained that she had a relationship in 2014 with Lubitz. "When I heard about the crash, I remembered a sentence, over and over again, that he said," the woman, a flight attendant of 26 named only as Maria W, told Bild.

"One day I'll do something that will change the system, and then everyone will know my name and remember it'," she said he told her.

"I didn't know what he meant by that at the time, but now it's obvious," the attendant said.

On Friday, German authorities found "torn-up sick notes" that revealed his illness, that should "grounded him on the day of the tragedy." He had not submitted his sick notes earlier, he said, according to Germanwings, the budget airline of the flag carrier Lufthansa. However, a Lufthansa spokesman refused to comment.

The Dusseldorf University Hospital said on Friday that Lubitz had been its patient for two months, and had had a "diagnostic evaluation" on March 10, but denied that he had been under depression.
