Global Affairs said it is aware of the death of a Canadian in Germany, was seeking more information about the incident and that consular officials stand ready to assist the family
Global Affairs did not directly confirm her identity but a Facebook profile apparently belonging to Liu says she is from Waterloo, Ont.
Police in Germany say they received a call for two people who were found injured 50 metres below a viewpoint near the Marienbrucke bridge, overlooking the Neuschwanstein Castle – which inspired the castle in Cinderella – on the afternoon of June 14. Investigators say a 21-year-old and a 22-year-old female had met a male American tourist, 30, on the hiking trail before he assaulted them and pushed them off the hill one by one.
The 22-year-old survived the fall, police say, but her friend, believed to be Liu, died in hospital afterwards, and the man has been charged with murder and investigators say they are looking into the possibility of a sexual assault during the incident.
