An 88-year-old grandfather arrived at the Toulon hospital emergency room on Saturday 17 December with a World War I grenade in his anus.
The hospital has been partially evacuated, explain our colleagues from good morning. The octogenarian was operated on in the evening. The shell was “five or six centimeters in diameter by twenty in length”, our colleagues from Good morning.
“An apple, a mango or even a can of shaving foam… We’re used to finding unusual objects inserted where they shouldn’t be. But a shell? Never!” one of the Sainte-Musse emergency room operators in Toulon told colleagues at Nice Matin.
As a safety measure, the hospital was partially evacuated. The octogenarian had explained to the doctors that the shell was demilitarized.
However, the demining crews were contacted and confirmed that the shell posed no explosion risk.
