She had disappeared while walking her dog: Justine, 24, found dead in an agricultural pond, next to a fox

What happened to Justine Roche? While the police had launched a call for witnesses the day before, the 24-year-old young woman was found dead this Sunday morning, indicates France 3. His body was located in an agricultural pond located 300 meters from his home in Beaupréau-en-Mauges, in Maine-et-Loire.

A fox attack at the origin of the tragedy?

“The hypothesis is that she would have voluntarily gone down into the collective basin to retrieve her dog,” indicates prosecutor Eric Bouillard West France.

According to France 3, a fox was found in the same body of water. Enough to suggest that the animal could have attacked Justine Roche's dog, who would have accidentally fallen into the basin while trying to help her.

Medical examinations will be carried out to establish the cause of death while an investigation is underway to determine the precise circumstances of the tragedy.
