Laciny, 40, was arrested on March 30 but has since been released on $5,000 (£4,000) bail, Spiegal reports.

The artist – who has a son – is believed to have died on April 18.

Before breaking into the music scene, Laciny played soccer for Hansa Rostock and the German U17 team.

He was then discovered in New York City for modeling work, collaborating with Hugo Boss and Diesel.

But Laciny, also known as alter ego Marsimoto, then decided to move back to Germany to pursue a career in music.

He has sold more than three million records to date after hitting the road with tracks like Radiated.

The melody with the singer Yasha appears in the video game FIFA 12.

Laciny later trained as an actor and appeared in several television shows.

He also became known on television as the face of the Fisherman’s Friend commercial in Germany.

Laciny last released an album in 2021, but in an Instagram Story on Tuesday, he hinted at another coming this year.

He did not comment on the allegations in the post.

The Sun has reached out to Laciny’s management for comment.
