A precautionary measure after the announcement, made to the family, of the autopsy performed on a 23-year-old man found dead last weekend in his van in a parking lot in Coudray. A post-mortem practice that would not accept the community of travelers to which the victim belonged, settled in Chartres.
A man found dead in his van at Coudray
After the discovery of his lifeless body, Monday, February 27, around 12:30 p.m., by a relative, around eighty people from his community had opposed his transport to the Forensic Institute of Garches (Hauts-de -Seine), for an autopsy, and had blocked the funeral van with their vehicles.
The police officers from Dreux and Chartres had come in large numbers to defuse the situation, as did Françoise Souliman, prefect of Eure-et-Loir. Finally, at 5:40 p.m., the funeral van was able to leave for Garches.
The autopsy would not have revealed any criminal trail.
