Authorities in Germany say four people have died after being treated at a hospital on the Dutch border that offers alternative cancer treatment.

Police in Moenchengladbach announced the first death, of a Dutch woman who had received treatment for breast cancer at the Biologisches Krebszentrum in Brueggen-Bracht, on Monday. On Thursday, they said another three patients who were treated last week have died in recent days — one from Belgium and two from the Netherlands.

The hospital said Wednesday it is giving full cooperation to the police investigation.
