The police investigation is progressing in the case of the macabre discovery which occurred on Monday November 18 in the Tour-Chabot district of Niort. An autopsy was carried out this Thursday, November 21, on the body of a man found dead in the apartment of a small building located at 2, rue Georges-Carpentier. Remember that a police investigation for murder had been opened in this case.

The cause of death is not linked to the intervention of a third party. It is therefore not a murder, but a natural death, undoubtedly due to the person's failing state of health. indicates Nicolas Leclainche, vice-prosecutor of the Republic of Niort.

The magistrate confirms that it is indeed the tenant of the apartment, a man aged around forty.
