Career

As a pilot, Endrich won four medals in the two-man event at the FIBT World Championships with two golds (1949, 1953), one silver (1947), and one bronze (1951).

Endrich was killed at the 1953 FIBT World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, West Germany during the four-man competition when the sled he was driving hurtled over a wall and crashed into a tree. He suffered a broken neck in the collision and was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. He had also won the two-man world championship a week earlier.[3]
