RTPolice have found a torn sick leave note for the date of the crashed Germanwings flight in the home of Andreas Lubitz, suspected of voluntarily bringing the plane down, Dusseldorf prosecutors say.
Prosecutors believe Lubitz could have been concealing his illness from the company.
“Documents with medical contents were confiscated that point towards an existing illness and corresponding treatment by doctors,” said the Prosecutors’ Office in Dusseldorf, Reuters reports.
“The fact there are sick notes saying he was unable to work, among other things, that were found torn up, which were recent and even from the day of the crime, support the assumption based on the preliminary examination that the deceased hid his illness from his employer and his professional colleagues,” it said.
It was not specified what medical condition exactly prompted Lubutz’s doctor to issue him a medical certificate.
Prosecutors say evaluation of the documents will take some days.

Prosecutors said Lubitz did not have political or religious motives for deliberately crashing the plane.
They found no suicide note among his belongings.
Police earlier said they had recovered a “significant clue” following searches in Lubitz’s apartment and his parents’ home.
“We have found something which will now be taken for tests,” Markus Niesczery from Dusseldorf Police told the Daily Mail. “We cannot say what it is at the moment, but it may be a very significant clue to what has happened.”
German daily Bild reported earlier on Friday that Lubitz had spent 18 months overall under psychiatric treatment. The newspaper also claimed it got access to Lubitz’s profile, indicating the pilot had “psychological problems” and required a “special, exemplary regular medical examination“.
Bild also cited sources familiar with the investigation, saying that Lubitz was suffering from a “personal life crisis,” following a recent breakup with a girlfriend.
Lubitz underwent treatment at the Dusseldorf University Hospital, a spokesperson for the hospital confirmed Friday. The treatment was unrelated to depression, Susanne Dopheide told RIA Novosti news agency.
Germanwings flight 4U 9525 was on its way from Barcelona to Dusseldorf on Tuesday, when it crashed in the French Alps, killing all 150 people on board.
The data from a voice recorder found at the crash site suggests German co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, 28, likely brought the plane down voluntarily, French Prosecutor Brice Robin announced on Thursday.
This was designed to take control of these jets from the ground. Say goodbye to the pilot as we now know them,and say hello to ground control override.
This whole thing was controlled by ground anyways. They want the pilots out of the plane, or at least in secondary control,obviously.
Welcome to project skyhook…
yes, lets blame those OTHER ter ra rists.
“Lubitz” is a Jewish surname. Some articles came out today that he…wait for it…wait for it…”RECENTLY CONVERTED TO ISLAM”. And I believe those stories have been slowly disappearing. At least they tried.
Remember some classic “converted to islam”s???
Batman shooter “converted to islam” (yeah, right):

You know that John Goodman meme from the Big Lebowski where he’s holding a pistol up in the air and the meme says:
“AM I THE ONLY ONE AROUND HERE WHO REALIZES” (then fill in the blank).
That’s how I feel sometimes. Now with the “try” for “converted to islam” of the pilot.
