Slightly injured, his mother, a 46-year-old woman, was taken to hospital.

“The investigation opened into the causes of death and entrusted to the national gendarmerie will specify the origin of the fire (a fire assessment being scheduled) and an examination of the child’s body”, specifies Guillaume Dupont, the prosecutor of the Republic of Compiègne.
