Islamabad Police have discovered the body of a German diplomat in his apartment within the Diplomatic Enclave, law enforcers told Geo News on Monday.

The deceased has been identified as Thomas Fielder, the Second Secretary at the German Embassy in Islamabad.

According to police officials, Fielder's body was recovered after German Embassy staff, concerned over his absence from work for two days, broke into his apartment and found him unresponsive.

The embassy immediately alerted the local authorities, who transported the body to the hospital for a post-mortem examination.

Police said that the cause of death remains undetermined and will be ascertained following the autopsy report. Initial investigations revealed that the diplomat had previously suffered a minor heart attack, which could potentially be a contributing factor.
