German authorities are investigating a possible murder after best-selling German novelist Alexandra Fröhlich was found dead on a houseboat with signs of a violent attack, according to reports.
Fröhlich, 58, was found the morning of April 22 in Hamburg, CNN and the Guardian report. Relatives found a lifeless, unnamed woman, whom the outlets confirmed was Frölich, and called the fire department, according to a statement from German authorities.
"Prosecutors are now assuming it was a homicide and are asking for information from the public," said the statement, translated from German.
Revealing they believed she "died as a result of violence," authorities said they were investigating possible suspects and deployed both a 3D scanner and divers from the state police to aid in the efforts.
