On August 7, a man was found lying at the bottom of a bridge in the city center of Perpignan. The victim, who died the next day, was identified several days after his death thanks to an appeal for witnesses.
A man was found lying in a pool of blood on August 7th, at the bottom of the bridge located at the intersection between Boulevard des Pyrénées and Cours Lazare Escarguel in Perpignan. That evening, a very large rescue operation was deployed to try to access the victim and bring him up to transport him to Perpignan hospital. The man succumbed to his injuries the next day. In the process, the police had to issue an appeal for witnesses to try to identify the unfortunate man and find his relatives. This has been done.

The victim, originally from Montargis (Loiret) was a 58-year-old resident of Saint-Estève. According to the examinations carried out during the autopsy, no traces of a struggle were discovered on his body, nor any evidence that would indicate the intervention of a third party. As a reminder, an hour after the discovery of this fifty-year-old, another man had tried to end his life from the same bridge. He had been saved in extremis by a group of young passers-by. The two cases would therefore be unrelated.
