A lifeless body was discovered Thursday along a bank of the Loire, in Cordemais. Entrusted to the gendarmerie, he was to undergo an autopsy on Friday.

According to a source close to the case, it is not impossible that the body could have floated from Donges. Even from the Saint-Nazaire bridge, known to be a hotspot for suicide attempts in the department. “No lead is currently favored, and it is still too early to identify the person,” said the gendarmes.
