Aribert Heim, one of the most wanted Nazi criminals, has been dead since 1992, German’s ZDF television reports.
It says Heim, known as “Doctor Death” lived under a pseudonym and died in Egypt’s capital, Cairo.
ZDF says it found Heim’s passport and other personal documents in a hotel where he lived.
Heim was a concentration camp doctor and was accused of killing hundreds of concentration camp victims, using horrific medical experiments.
In its report, ZDF quoted witnesses, including Heim’s son, as confirming that he died in 1992.
The German TV channel also said Heim had converted to Islam.
