Prosecutor Says Germanwings Pilot Visited 'Dozens' of Doctors Before Crash

The pilot suspected of intentionally crashing a Germanwings flight earlier this year had reportedly contacted doctors prior to the incident, investigators say.

Prosecutors investigating the deadly crash that claimed 150 lives have discovered that the co-pilot of Germanwings flight 9525, Andreas Lubitz, had reportedly contacted dozens of doctors to address an undisclosed ailment ahead of the March 24 crash.

Marseilles Prosecutor Brice Robin reportedly told the Associated Press that the investigation into the life of Lubitz has found that the Germanwings co-pilot reportedly visited dozens of doctors to discuss some sort of ailment ahead of the fatal crash.

Investigators reportedly found torn-up doctors' notes at Lubitz's residence following the crash, including one note that excused him from working the day he intentionally flew Germanwings 9525 into the side of a mountain in the French Alps.

Robin added in an interview with the Associated Press that he will be meeting with the families of those who died in the crash next week in Paris to discuss his findings.

"I have decided to prioritize the victims' families," Robin told the AP in a recent statement.

According to USA Today, Lufthansa Airlines, which owns Germanwings, has repeatedly said that Lubitz was declared fit to fly and mentally stable before the March crash.

"At no point ever did we know he was sick," Lufthansa spokesman Wolfgang Weber told USA TODAY earlier this year. "The captain was also 100% fit. We would never let anyone fly if they weren't. We can't. If a pilot is sick in any way, they have no valid license."
