Sick Celebrity - Heinz Hoenig's management responds to false death notice
It is difficult times for Heinz Hoenig and his wife Annika Kärsten-Hoenig. For weeks, the actor has been fighting for his life in a hospital.

Now Hoenig's management was forced to give a statement on behalf of the family. The reason was a fake death notice that was circulating on the internet.
Heinz Hoenig: Management denies death notice
"Statements are currently circulating on the internet that Heinz Hoenig has died. We would like to explicitly state that this is fake news. These statements lack any foundation and cause unnecessary unrest," so the Siegelring Management, whose CEO is music producer Ralph Siegel. "We urgently ask that the Hoenig family not be further burdened with such inquiries and false information," it continues. The statement was shared by Kärsten-Hoenig on Instagram. Recently, she had shared impressions of her husband's rehabilitation gymnastics on Instagram, writing hopefully: "What we can't do alone, we can do together!"
The news that money had to be collected for Hoenig caused confusion for some people. How can someone in Germany be in such a situation? In conversation with stern, manager and Hoenig's friend Ralph Siegel made it clear recently that he was not surprised by this news. "Many artists have it so that it doesn't go well for them in old age, and it can even go so far that they can't pay for their health insurance. It's a dramatic situation that one can only pity and find terrible. Many actors are struggling with this, despite having been famous and successful for years," Siegel explained the problem. "The Jungle Camp helped Heinz financially a little, but the money was then gone directly. When you have a little, the tax office comes," he said.
Despite the false death notice circulating online, Annika Kärsten-Hoenig's management, led by music producer Ralph Siegel, clarified that Heinz Hoenig is still alive. This misinformation caused unnecessary distress and the family requested for it to stop. In a recent Instagram post, Kärsten-Hoenig shared her husband's rehabilitation gymnastics, expressing hope and emphasizing the importance of unity during challenging times.
