Club boss of the German club Hertha Berlin Kay Bernstein died earlier this week in Germany.
Bernstein’s family found him dead Tuesday morning. On Monday night, Bernstein had gone to bed at 11 p.m., but did not wake up again. He died only 43 years old.
The German newspaper Bild reported, that Bernstein had done quite a heroic deed earlier in October. According to Bild’s information, Bernstein saved his adviser at the time by Andreas Lorenz spirit.
Bernstein had not caught Lorenz and decided to call the police. That phone call finally saved Lorenz’s life, who was lying on the floor of his home. Lorenz had suffered a serious illness at his home in Rhineland-Palatinate.
Lorenz was part of Bernstein’s presidential campaign in June 2022. Bernstein unexpectedly won the presidential election and was appointed president of the club. He was a former ultra supporter of the club and was very popular with the supporters.
Lorenz regularly exchanged ideas with Bernstein on media topics.
The criminal police have started a cause of death investigation into Bernstein’s death, because a natural cause of death could not be verified. It was initially suspected that he had suffered a heart attack.
According to information from Bild Bernstein’s wife Eileen Bernstein-Rose had called 911 when she hadn’t woken up her husband. Bernstein-Rose had also told the club about her husband’s passing.
The couple had married in 2023 and have one daughter together.
At the end of last season, Hertha Berlin was relegated from the Bundesliga. The club is currently in seventh place in the 2nd Bundesliga.
