GermanyCzech police have started exhuming the remains of former Czechoslovak Foreign Minister Jan Masaryk to investigate the circumstances of his death in 1948, which remain shrouded in mystery. Masaryk was found dead in the courtyard of the Foreign Ministry in Prague, wearing only pajamas, beneath his bathroom window. At the time, authorities claimed it was a suicide, but other theories suggest it could have been an accident or murder by Soviet agents. His death occurred during the Cold War and has sparked speculation for decades. Masaryk, who was the son of Czechoslovak President Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, refused to resign as foreign minister after the 1948 communist takeover. The investigation comes amid renewed interest in historical cases following the fall of communism in 1989.
