"Unfortunately, no sign of Mr. Küblböck was found," said Cough. A total of four ships and two aircraft had searched an area of 1227 square nautical miles for several hours. Due to the short survival time in the cold water, the search is said to have been discontinued.
Did Daniel Küblböck jump from the ship?
Aida spokesman Hansjörg Kunze is said to have told the German Press Agency that this would be a reasonable assumption. After announcements and a cabin check, it is said to have been established that the 33-year-old Küblböck has disappeared. Recently, accusations of bullying have been made against the ETI acting school in Berlin run by the European Theater Institute, Küblböck's acting school. The school rejects the accusations. A few days before the tragic accident, Küblböck posted various pictures of himself - in women's clothes. Whether it was a suicide or a tragic accident will perhaps never be clarified.
Daniel Küblböck: shrill to weird
Küblböck was born in the Bavarian town of Hutthurm - in 2002/2003 he became known as a weird and shrill participant in the RTL Saturday evening show "Deutschland sucht den Superstar". Thanks to the entertainment factor, he came third - Dieter Bohlen's line "Your voice sounds like Kermit" is legendary. Alexander Klaws took first place ahead of Juliette Schoppmann. In 2004, he took part in the first season of the jungle camp "Ich bin ein Star - Holt mich hier raus!" and bravely fought his way to third place after Costa Cordalis and Lisa Fitz. Because: Küblböck was sent to the most jungle trials. The test in which almost 30,000 cockroaches awaited him in a glass coffin is also legendary.
In 2014, he applied to take part in the Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen with the song "Be A Man" - without success. In 2015, Küblböck took part as a contestant in the eighth season of the RTL show "Let's Dance", where he came 6th. He trained as an actor at the European Theater Institute in Berlin. Most recently, Küblböck lived in Berlin and Palma de Mallorca.
