Two deaths in less than two days. Tuesday morning, around 9 a.m., a 54-year-old man died after jumping into the Saint-Denis canal in the Franc-Moisin district in Saint-Denis. According to a source, this fifty-year-old would have ended his days by jumping from the footbridge of the Place du Franc-Moisin under the eyes of several witnesses. The emergency services failed to revive him. According to the Bobigny prosecutor’s office, an investigation for “research into the causes of death” was opened and entrusted to the Saint-Denis police station.
The next day, Wednesday, early in the morning, the body of another man – whose identity was still unknown on Friday – was also found a few kilometers away, floating on the Ourcq canal in Pantin, near from the Johan-Barthold-Jongkind square.
Investigation for “investigation of the causes of death”
“They let it float for a long time before taking it out of the water,” said a local resident, who was surprised that his naked body had not really been hidden from passers-by and the inhabitants of surrounding buildings. “He was taken out of the water at around 10 am and the police examined him until around 4 pm. Even if she prevented people from approaching, she did not cover anything, while there were kids playing in the square next door or who could be at home. Considering the time they stayed, we say to ourselves that it may be a murder. “
According to witnesses and the images we were able to view, the body was bloody. According to the Bobigny prosecutor’s office, an investigation for “research into the causes of death” was also opened and entrusted to the Pantin police station.
