ABC News/SpiegelGerman Police Unsure Whether Documents Found Are 'Evidence of Death'In February, German and US media reported they had found evidence that Aribert Heim, the Nazi war criminal known as "Dr. Death," had died in Egypt of cancer in 1992. But German police who have reviewed the documents have their doubts, SPIEGEL has learned.
German police have their doubts about whether Aribert Heim, the Nazi war criminal reported in February to have died of cancer in 1992, is really dead.
Specialists of the regional criminal police force in the south-western state of Baden-Württemberg have examined documents found by journalists in an old briefcase in Cairo and don't believe that the papers constitute "evidence of the death" of Heim, SPIEGEL has learned.
New information from the police's own sources in Germany and abroad as well as inconsistencies in the claims that he died in Egypt have led German police to continue "investigating in all directions," a police source told SPIEGEL.

Heim was arrested by US troops in 1945 and held for more than two and a half years, but for unknown reasons he was never prosecuted.
He worked as a gynaecologist in Germany until 1962, when it was reported he fled after receiving a tip-off about his impending arrest.
