Prosecutor:‬ Andreas Lubitz ‘Had Treatment for Suicidal Tendencies’

Spokesman Ralf Herrenbrueck emphasized they are still searching for a motive

Prosecutors: Germanwings co-pilot treated for suicidal tendencies (The Associated Press)

German prosecutors say the co-pilot of the Germanwings passenger plane that crashed in the French Alps had received treatment for suicidal tendencies.

Duesseldorf prosecutors say that Andreas Lubitz received psychotherapy "with a note about suicidal tendencies" for several years before becoming a pilot.

Prosecutors' spokesman Ralf Herrenbrueck said Monday that investigators have found no indication of a motive so far as to why Lubitz crashed the plane, nor any sign of a physical illness.
