A German diplomat’s bloodied body has been discovered in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad.

On Monday, January 6, the body of 58-year-old Thomas Juergen Bielefeld, the second secretary at the German embassy, was found in his residence located in the high-security diplomatic area of Karakoram Heights. The information was confirmed by local police, according to Pakistan’s Dawn newspaper.

Reports indicate that Bielefeld’s body was found with blood on his eyes, nose, and mouth. Police stated that the diplomat had not reported to work on Monday and failed to respond to calls from the embassy. Consequently, a staff member was sent to his residence. Upon arrival, the staff member found there was no response from inside the house.

German embassy officials then arrived at the scene, broke open the door, and discovered Bielefeld’s lifeless body. The police were subsequently notified, and the body was transported to a hospital for further investigation.

The diplomat had previously suffered from a heart condition, though it remains unclear when he passed away.

Following the incident, the German embassy has been in contact with Pakistani authorities, and an investigation has been launched. Further inquiries are being conducted to understand the surrounding circumstances.

According to police, the last known use of WhatsApp by Bielefeld was on Saturday night at 7:44 PM.

The German embassy spokesperson has yet to comment on the matter.
