Inquiry into the demise of rap artist Xatar has been closed.

In a recent development, the Cologne Public Prosecutor's Office has concluded its investigation into the death of the controversial German rapper, Xatar (real name Giwar Hajabi). The investigation, which was initiated in response to potential criminal external influence, has been discontinued as no evidence of such influence was found.

Born in Iran, Xatar was a significant figure in the German rap scene, with his albums topping the charts. However, his career was not without controversy. He had legal issues, including a prison sentence for a gold heist in 2009. Despite these challenges, Xatar continued his music career from prison.

The investigation into Xatar's death, which occurred in his Cologne apartment in May, did not find any indications of negligent behavior of others, according to the chemical-toxicological report. The report also did not provide any indications that Xatar's death was caused by negligent behavior of others.

In a statement, Chief Prosecutor Ulrich Bremer stated that the investigation was initially conducted due to potential criminal external influence. However, after a thorough examination, no evidence of 'criminally relevant external influence' was found in Xatar's death.

The Public Prosecutor's Office has decided to protect the privacy rights of the deceased and his relatives by not disclosing further details about the investigation results. This decision is in line with their commitment to upholding the dignity and confidentiality of all parties involved.

Xatar's death has left a significant void in the German rap scene. His unique style and controversial persona made him a polarising figure, but there is no doubt that he had a profound influence on the industry. As the investigation into his death comes to a close, fans and industry peers continue to mourn his loss and celebrate his legacy.
