the essential
A 47-year-old father died on the night of Wednesday December 25 to Thursday December 26 in Calmont near Toulouse. He had just had an altercation with noisy neighbors. An investigation has been opened to “search for the causes of death”.
Michaël, a 47-year-old father, lost his life on the night of Wednesday December 25 to Thursday December 26 near his house in a hamlet of Calmont, a village located southeast of Toulouse.
The circumstances of this man’s death are unclear. An investigation was opened to “search for the causes of death”. She was entrusted to the gendarmes of the Villefranche-de-Lauragais research brigade.
That night, “around 12:30 a.m. we heard a noise coming from the neighbors’ house,” his wife recalls in shock. “He went out in his pajamas.” Outside, the tone rises between revelers, Michaël and his son.
“There were very many of them”
“These people were very angry. They attacked my son. There were more and more of them, very numerous.” Blows are exchanged, Michaël receives some.
After a while, the father collapses and doesn’t get up. Care was provided to him and emergency services were called to the scene. Despite efforts, the victim died at the scene.
The gendarmes moved to the hamlet during the night. They carried out surveys and findings. Auditions took place. It is now a question of determining the causes of Michaël’s death. Did he succumb to the blows he received? That’s what those around him think.
Autopsy scheduled
Did he die of natural causes? Did he have a heart attack? This hypothesis has not been ruled out and caution remains in order. An autopsy on the victim’s body is scheduled for the beginning of the week. It will make it possible to confirm or deny a causal link between Michaël’s death and the altercation.
In Calmont, a small village of 2000 inhabitants, the rumor of a fight and a death quickly spread. However, residents are careful not to be affirmative. Did the discreet father lose his life for asking partygoers to make less noise?
The gendarmerie investigation, at the heart of which the results of the autopsy are impatiently awaited, will have to shed light on this dramatic event which leaves a family in despair in the middle of the end-of-year holidays.
