He was also to be seen in social networks. For example, a florist posted on Instagram, as she presented him with a “greeting for further recovery” in the shop.
In mid-July, Grupp Senior had made an attempted suicide public. “I am 84 years old and suffer from so -called age depression. (…) I also tried to end my life,” he wrote in a letter to his former employees. Depression in older age is called age depression – these differ from other depression. Grupp appealed to other affected people at the time: “Search for professional help and go to treatment.”
