A 26-year-old young woman was found dead this Friday afternoon in the emergency waiting room of the Villeneuve-Saint-Georges hospital (Val-de-Marne), as we revealed the same evening . An investigation into the causes of death has been opened.
During the night from Wednesday to Thursday, the young woman presented herself at the Villeneuve-Saint-Georges Intercommunal Hospital Center (Chiv). At what time precisely? For what reason? The prosecution is not currently able to answer us. On the other hand, on Thursday, the young woman was declared as “leaving the establishment”. But, in reality, she does not leave the enclosure.
It was her parents who discovered her lying on Friday around 1 p.m. A witness said that earlier in the day she “lay down on the floor” before being “sitted in a chair.” When ? Same, it remains nebulous. Given the seriousness of her condition, the young woman would have been immediately transferred to the recovery room. At 3 p.m. the death was declared by a judicial police officer. It was the establishment which contacted investigators for this unexplained death. The hospital management did not wish to confirm these elements, hiding behind the ongoing investigation.
This Saturday morning, the Créteil public prosecutor’s office told us that it had contacted the Brigade for the Repression of Delinquency Against the Person (BRDP) to carry out the investigations. This specialized department of the Parisian judicial police has a group that only investigates medical cases, particularly errors. This obviously does not mean that this is the case, but it suggests that the criminal trail or that of suicide would be ruled out.
Still according to the public prosecutor, an autopsy must take place next week to determine the cause of death.
If a possible medical error is considered as part of this investigation, it will necessarily have to be put into perspective with the disastrous conditions in which the nursing staff claim to work. No later than January 2, a strike was followed at the Villeneuve-Saint-Georges hospital to urgently demand staff.
The movement continued until January 7. A “memorandum of understanding to end the strike” was signed at the end of this mobilization. Among the measures obtained by caregivers: from October 1 and until March 31, 2026, a period “particularly impacted by winter epidemics and a significant increase in emergency room visits,” more than ten positions will be added, we were told. this Saturday afternoon the management.
The unexplained death of this young woman occurs almost at the same time as a tragedy at the Longjumeau hospital center (Essonne). In this establishment, on Wednesday, a 20-year-old patient suffering from a genetic disease died in the emergency room late in the afternoon after spending hours on a stretcher.
