A body floating in the Garonne near the Simone-Veil bridge, right bank in Bordeaux, was reported to the Gironde firefighters on Monday. Intervening on Quai de la Souys around 6 p.m., firefighters recovered the remains of a woman.

For the moment, she has not been identified. The investigators, after identifying the deceased and verifying their hypothesis through DNA tests, will contact her relatives. The causes of his death must also be specified, police say.
