According to AFP, citing French prosecutor Brice Robin, co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, who crashed the plane into the Alps, met in Paris with about 200 relatives of the victims. He revealed that Lubitz had consulted with seven doctors in the month before the disaster.

Furthermore, over a period of about five years, Lubitz also consulted 41 doctors for various medical conditions, including psychological issues, ear, nose, throat, and eye problems. Many doctors, when questioned by investigators, stated that Lubitz had complained about having only 30% of his vision and said, "What meaning does life have with such poor eyesight?"

At the meeting, relatives of the victims were shown three reenactments of what happened in the cockpit of the Germanwings plane on March 24th during its flight from Barcelona to Duesseldorf, which killed 150 people.

However, the doctors who had examined Lubitz, including the one who had asked him to take two days off before the disaster, did not disclose his mental health condition due to vested interests in the patient-doctor relationship.

Meanwhile, the process of bringing the remaining remains of the deceased back to their hometowns is causing frustration among relatives due to delays caused by spelling errors in the death certificates. The reason is a mistake in the spelling of some foreign names.

However, after complaints from the families of the deceased students, a flight departed on Wednesday (June 10). To date, however, only 44 of the 150 German victims have been buried by their families.

Next Monday (June 15), 30 Spanish victims will be repatriated, while the remains of victims from 18 other countries will be repatriated at the end of June.

At the end of last month, investigators finally completed the identification of the remains of 150 deceased individuals. The unidentified body parts will be buried together in a mass grave in the town of Vernet, not far from the accident site.
