Four candidates and two reserves from the right-wing AfD political party in Germany have dropped dead within 13 days of each other — just before elections, according to reports.
The Alternative for Deutschland candidates were set to appear on ballots in North Rhine-Westphalia on September 14.
Officials said no foul play is currently suspected in any of their deaths, the BBC reported.
Um, "dropped dead"? I sense that the NYP doesn't particularly care for the AfD.
Ralph Lange, 66; Wolfgang Klinger, 71; Stefan Berendes, 59; and Wolfgang Seitz, 59, all kicked the bucket within two weeks of each other, the European Conservative reported. Two reserve candidates also died over the same period.
Kicked the bucket? Do they have editors at the NYP?
While 6 candidate deaths looks suspicious, there are 20,000 candidates up for election in September, and according to the more measured BBC reporting there have been deaths among the candidates of other parties as well. Still, six from the most hated party in Germany seems suspicious.

“German officials stated that two of the deaths were a result of natural causes, but have not commented on the cause of the others.”
Huh.
Does the Clinton Foundation have a chapter in Germany? [\snark]
