Heidi Klum and Tom and Bill Kaulitz fear poisoning as dogs mysteriously die on same day

Heidi Klum, Tom Kaulitz and Bill Kaulitz believe their pet dogs dying could be connected, as they all died at the same time in mysterious circumstances.

The supermodel, 49, and Tokio Hotel member Tom, 33, lost their pet German Shorthaired Pointer last month, who they had named Capper. The dog was 15 years old when it passed away, with their four-year-old Irish Wolfhound, named Anton, also dying just days later.

Tom’s twin brother, Bill Kaulitz, also lost his four-year-old pet bulldog Stitch, the same day Anton died.

While Heidi and Tom were based in Palm Springs at the time, and Bill was in LA, the trio believe the deaths could be connected.

The brothers spoke about the mysterious circumstances around the incident on their podcast, Kaulitz Hills - Senf aus Hollywood.

Bill admitted that despite being in good health, Stitch had suddenly collapsed, which led him to believe he could have been poisoned, saying: “Stitch is also at an autopsy, where we hope to learn a few more things. Because of course, sadly, we also had to think about whether it might be the case that everything is connected.

“I never even bothered to think that he might have anything. He was never sick, never had to go to the doctor. And then, one Sunday, he suddenly collapsed and fell over. I was in shock.”

Tom said: “A friend of mine said that it's so sad that you have to think that there is someone who wants to harm you so much that he kills your animals. Is there a lunatic out there?”

“We lost our whole pack, our dearest, sweet little babies, all within two weeks.”

Bill left a sweet message for Stitch upon revealing his death, writing: “Dear Stitch I will never understand why life took you from me so early, so unexpectedly, so sudden, only days after we lost our Capper, when you were only 4 years old and we both still had so many plans together.

“My heart is broken and miss you more than words could ever say. Thank u for being my home, my fearless and strong protector, for making me laugh and feel joy ever day looking at your little face. I love u so much and will keep u in my heart forever!”
