The infamous German sandwich poisoning case related to the poisoning of an employee with mercury and lead acetate by his colleague has reached a new turning point.

The victim who has been in the state of coma for last few years has passed away.

As the victim has succumbed to the injuries caused due to the poisoning, the German authority has decided to initiate a different legal proceeding against the accused.

Last year, the accused was awarded the serious punishment of life imprisonment for his involvement in the crime.

The deceased man was not the only victim. At least two other persons – all colleagues of the accused – were injured in the similar manner. They suffered severe kidney issues as a result of the poisoning incident.

The poisoning was unearthed when one of the employees in the company where they worked identified some unidentified white substance sprinkled over the sandwich provided to him.

The man notified the company authority. It was the investigation of the authority with the help of the visuals of the security cameras installed in the company which unearthed the mystery behind the white powder.

Later, the same powders were recovered from the house of the accused.
