German Local Election Candidates' Deaths Spark Conspiracy Theories

In Germany, before a local election, 16 people running for office suddenly passed away.

These deaths have caused people to suspect something unusual happened.

The first few deaths were from the AfD party, and then others from different parties also died.

Because so many people died at once, some people think something suspicious is going on, and there are lots of rumors.

The police have checked the first few deaths and found nothing wrong, but they are still looking into all of them.

The election might be affected, because they have to reprint the ballots when candidates die.
