The German copilot thought to have deliberately flown an aircraft into a French mountain, killing all 150 on board, had received treatment for "suicidal tendencies" a few years ago, a spokesman for a German prosecutor said Monday.
Andreas Lubitz, 27, underwent "psychotherapy" before qualifying to be a pilot, the spokesman for the prosecutor in Duesseldorf said in a statement.
"Several years ago before obtaining his pilot's license, the copilot was in a long period of psychotherapeutic treatment for noticeable suicidal tendencies," Ralf Herrenbrueck said in a statement. Since that time, Herrenbrueck said, Lubitz had not shown any signs of wishing to kill himself or any physical illness.
"In the following period, and until recently, further doctor's visits took place, resulting in sick notes without any suicidal tendencies or feelings of aggression toward others being recorded," the statement continued.
Herrenbrueck added that investigators had found no motive for Lubitz's alleged actions.
Investigators have said the cockpit flight recorder recovered from the crash site in the French Alps suggested that Lubitz locked captain Patrick Sondenheimer out of the flight deck last Tuesday before putting Germanwings Flight 9525 into descent, sending it smashing into a mountain at about 435 mph and killing all 144 passengers and six crew on board.
Christoph Kumpa, another spokesman for the Duesseldorf investigators, added that there was no suggestion that Lubitz had any problem with his vision, as earlier reported.
