This Tuesday, November 12, afternoon, a contractor mandated to work on the roof of a building in Rochechouart, west of Haute-Vienne, made a macabre discovery. The man found the lifeless body of a person on the roof of the building located on Market Square, while he was inspecting the building from his basket.
Immediately contacted, the gendarmes intervened and noted the presence of the body while climbing up using the basket. The specialized Grimp team (Research and Intervention Group in Perilous Environments) from the departmental fire and rescue service went to the site at the end of the afternoon to allow the forensic doctor and technicians to the Limoges criminal identification unit to intervene.
The causes of death and the identity of the victim unknown
The Saint-Junien brigade community was seized of the matter. The Saint-Junien research brigade and the Limoges research section were also deployed.
After nearly two hours of on-site observations and examination of the body on the roof, the police determined that it was the body of a woman. But for now, his identity remains unknown. Additional examinations must be carried out in the coming days.
According to our information, the body could be that of a woman who disappeared several years ago in the town and who had never been found. Information that the gendarmerie cannot confirm at the moment.
The police must determine the circumstances and causes surrounding this death. The investigation initiated by the Limoges public prosecutor's office to “research the causes of death” continues at the Saint-Junien brigade.
