The explosion of a pavilion, in Saint-Loup-de-Naud, near Provins, in Seine-et-Marne, left one person dead on the night of Tuesday November 26 to Wednesday November 27. The body of a woman in her thirties was discovered under the rubble, AFP learned on Wednesday, confirming information from Parisian. According to the Melun public prosecutor’s office, she was born in 1993.
A man, who managed to leave the scene alone after the explosion, was transported to a hospital in Paris “in serious condition”, said the department’s fire department spokesperson. At the end of the afternoon, his vital prognosis was no longer in jeopardy.
The hypothesis of the presence of explosives stored in the house by its former owner is privileged, announced the prosecutor of the city of Melun, Jean-Michel Bourlès. But assessments must be carried out to formally establish the cause of the explosion.
Around 5 a.m., Wednesday morning, nearly 60 firefighters were engaged on siteincluding teams specializing in rubble rescue, and dogs and dog handlers, according to firefighters.
