More details of the mental health background of Andreas Lubitz, the co-pilot who investigators said intentionally crashed a Germanwings flight earlier this week, are coming to light.
According to the Associated Press, Lubitz had apparently hid his illness from his employers.
Investigators found a doctor's excuse in his home that was dated for the day the plane crashed into the French Alps.
All 150 people on board were killed.
Ralf Herrenbrueck, the prosecutor's spokesman, said in a written statement that the notes were torn-up and "support the current preliminary assessment that the deceased hid his illness from his employer and colleagues," the Associated Press reported.
German news described Lubitz as a man with a history of depression and who had received psychological treatment.
