Overview

  • German-Iranian rapper Xatar, born Giwar Hajabi, was found dead in a Cologne apartment on May 8, 2025, with no signs of external violence; toxicology results are still awaited.
  • Xatar's Islamic funeral rites included a Totengebet on May 14 attended by 500 mourners and a burial on May 15 in Bonn, drawing nearly 1,000 attendees.
  • A discrepancy has surfaced between the official death date of May 8, cited by authorities, and the May 7 date inscribed on Xatar's grave marker.
  • The family-led decision to mark May 7 as the death date suggests they believe he passed away before his body was discovered on May 8.
