After two days of research, the body of Léo Pronchery was found in the Loire river this Monday morning in Roanne. He was barely ten minutes walk from the Le Club 50 nightclub where he was last seen on the night of Friday to Saturday. The 19-year-old young man from Villerest “was discovered by divers engaged in the research system, in an area close to the bank and the Pont du Coteau crossing the river”specifies the Public Prosecutor of Roanne Xavier Laurent.
The search system deployed since this weekend was important: divers, a helicopter, a drone to film the area, but also dogs specialized in searching for people. “The elements established at this stage, in particular by cross-checking the telephone activity of Léo Pronchery and the exploitation of urban video surveillance, as well as the marking of the dog specialized in searching for people, are suggestive of a fall into the Loire from the deck of the bridge linking Roanne to Coteau, shortly after 1:30 a.m. November 16, 2024″continues the press release from the Prosecutor’s Office. Investigators specify that at this stage no element suggests the intervention of a third party.
