UPDATE 03/29/15 10:15 A.M.:

According to the DailyMail, the girlfriend of Lubitz may be pregnant with his child, as German media has reported that the 26-year-old discovered she was expecting at least two weeks ago.

As they let the pregnancy news sink in, Kathrin Goldbach reportedly broke her relationship off with Lubitz because of his erratic behavior.

The site reports:

The news comes as it was suggested that Miss Goldbach broke off her relationship with Lubitz because his erratic personality left her fearing for her safety, the newspaper reported.

One friend said: ‘He tried to order her what to wear, what men she could speak to, even the length of her skirts. He was a control freak of the highest order.’

Another friend added: ‘She said he was very kind and attentive, but that he had problems with mood swings. And I think we sensed that she became more fearful over time.’

It claimed that Miss Goldbach lost patience with Lubitz’s increasingly unpredictable and controlling behaviour just weeks before he downed the Germanwings Flight 4U9525.

The site also reports that a “small mountain of pills” was found in his flat. For more details, click here.

After the tragic incident of Germanwings Flight 9295 crashing in the French Alps, investigators are looking into what caused it.

The co-pilot, identified as Andreas Lubitz, was said to have suffered a psychosomatic illness. Bloomberg reports:

Andreas Lubitz was being treated by several neurologists and psychiatrists for his sickness, said the person, who asked not to be identified discussing details of the investigation.

The site continues:

Investigators are focusing on the 27-year-old’s mental health after they found a doctor’s note among torn-up medical documents certifying him unfit for work on the day of the crash. Authorities said he hadn’t told Germanwings about his medical condition.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Lubitz had intentions to crash the flight. Authorities are waiting to question Lubitz’ parents. He allegedly shared a selfie that spoke to his dangerous intentions and you can view it here.
