The investigation into manslaughter was opened after a complaint from the family of a young man who died in the emergency room of Hyères. Lucas, 25, was the victim of septic shock according to his family, who filed a complaint for manslaughter.

The investigations are “in a phase of collecting technical data” and “we will then assess whether it is appropriate to refer the matter to an investigating judge” as part of a judicial investigation, explained the public prosecutor of Toulon, Samuel Finielz.
