The hunting 4x4s are all parked in front of the small road from Peysset to Coly-Saint-Amand, between the corn fields which border the Chironde stream. It is there, at the edge of the road, thata 49-year-old hunter died this Sunday, November 3 mid-morning. He was taking part in a hunt with one of the village's hunting companies when the other hunters heard a gunshot.
According to our information, they have found their hunting companion with a gunshot wound to the abdomen. His friends tried for a long time to resuscitate him, but the man died on the spot, despite the arrival of firefighters and SAMU. Requested by France Blue Périgordthe Périgueux public prosecutor's office confirms that the deceased “presents an injury appearing to come from a gunshot”. But the prosecutor adds that “the circumstances of death remain to be determined”. He opened an investigation into the causes of death and requested an autopsy.
“No one knows what happened”
“No one knows what happened”explains the mayor of the town Vincent Geoffroid. According to him, it is probably a “accident”, “perhaps mishandling of his rifle”. But between the accident, suicide or the intervention of a third party, investigators do not seem to exclude any hypothesis for the moment. The gendarmes had undertaken, this Sunday afternoon, toaudition the hunters present during the beating.
Franck, the victim, was farmerhe lived with his parents on the farm a few hundred meters from the scene of the accident. He raised sheep and ducks. It was a “guy who hunted forever”according to several witnesses. “A friend, we went to school together”assures the village mayor.
