A family of five in the Swiss resort Montreux fell from the building one after another, resulting in 4 deaths and 1 serious injury. According to eyewitnesses and surveillance images, they all fell from the balcony on the seventh floor within 5 minutes, and no one screamed. Even more shocking is that it was the 41-year-old mother Nasrine Feraoun who convinced the whole family to seek suicide together.
According to comprehensive foreign media reports, the case occurred on March 23 last year. After nearly a year of investigation, the police announced that the case was closed as a “collective suicide”.
At around 7 a.m. that day, Naslin, her twin sister Narjisse, her 40-year-old husband Eric David, her 15-year-old son, and her 8-year-old daughter fell from the building. The son fell into a coma for a while and was injured after treatment. He recovered, but has no memory of the incident, and the remaining four people all died.
The autopsy report pointed out that the deceased did not show any signs of struggle or drug reaction during his lifetime, and it seemed that he had moved a ladder to climb the fence to reach the balcony. In addition, police searches of the apartment and electronic equipment revealed that the mass suicide was carefully planned.
Investigators pointed out that the family is from France. Nasrin was deeply involved in conspiracy theories and was skeptical of the government. After the outbreak of the new crown epidemic and the war in Ukraine, she kept convincing her family that the world is not worth living. . Neighbors described the family as being almost isolated from the outside world. The adults seldom go out, very quiet and solitary, and the children are self-schooled at home.
French “Journal du Dimanche” (Journal du Dimanche) reported that Eric grew up in the rich area of Marseille (Marseille), France, and studied at the prestigious Ecole Polytechnique (Ecole Polytechnique) in the country. Attended Lycee Henri-IV, a prestigious school.
