While working on the roof of a downtown building, a contractor discovered human bones. According to Le Populaire du Center, “it was using his basket that he spotted the body, which was immediately reported to the authorities.” The Saint-Junien gendarmes, accompanied by a specialized team from GRIMP and a forensic doctor, went to the site to make initial findings.
The operation lasted several hours, during which it was confirmed that the bones were those of a woman. However, neither the identity of the victim nor the circumstances of his death could be immediately established. “The body was transferred to the Limoges Forensic Institute for more in-depth analyses,” France Bleu Limousin also reports.

An intriguing lead: the disappearance of Isabelle Dubois
The discovery revives an unsolved case in Rochechouart. Isabelle Dubois, a resident in her fifties, disappeared without a trace on January 5, 2023. Her disappearance gave rise to a call for witnesses and searches throughout the region, but no leads came up.
What concerns investigators is that the body was found on the roof of the building where Isabelle Dubois resided before her disappearance. For the moment, no official confirmation has been given, but this coincidence fuels speculation. “Forensic analyzes will be decisive in establishing a potential link with Isabelle Dubois,” notes Le Populaire du Center.
Unanswered questions
For the moment, the authorities remain cautious and do not confirm the link between the victim and Isabelle Dubois. Forensic analyses, underway at the Limoges Medico-Legal Institute, should provide crucial elements in the coming days. The causes of death, as well as the circumstances in which the body ended up on the roof, remain unknown.
Investigators do not exclude any hypothesis: accident, criminal act or even concealment of bodies. This discovery raises many questions among the inhabitants of Rochechouart, marked by the lack of response for two years concerning the disappearance of Isabelle Dubois. The next analysis results could prove decisive in establishing the truth.
An ongoing investigation to clarify the circumstances
The case was entrusted to the Saint-Junien gendarmerie brigade, supported by the Limoges research section. The investigation is focusing on identifying the victim and the causes of death.
The sector, cut off for part of the day to allow the intervention of specialized teams, aroused excitement among the inhabitants of Rochechouart. Many hope that this discovery can provide answers after two years of uncertainty. The mystery remains, but this lead could finally close a painful chapter for the town.
