German poker star Johannes Strassmann has been found dead in the capital of Slovenia at the age of 29.
Strassmann reportedly disappeared when he was on his way to meet with some Slovenian high stake players. According to posts on a Facebook group dedicated to the player, he “was not involved in an illegal poker game. He was just visiting some old friends here in Ljubljana. Everything was just fine until this accident.”
For the last week Slovenian police had been on high alert looking for the German poker pro but had no success locating him. When the body was discovered near the river it had deteriorated so much that immediate identification was not possible.
DNA results confirmed that the body belonged to Strassmann and the search came to an end.
