Many people expressed their condolences after he was reported dead.
“A great actor and a wonderful colleague. The death of Peter Simonischek makes me very sad right now. Just recently I saw “Oktober, November” with him again. At the film’s premiere party, we were talking about his death scene and he asked me if he had overplayed it there. Of course, I said no, although I had no idea about the last rebellion of dying. At least I believed him,” actor Wolfgang Zarnack said.
