The patient was discovered unresponsive at 8:30 a.m. and “despite all the efforts made,” he “could not be saved,’ the University Hospital said in the evening.

This suicide occurs four days after a rape and sexual assault in the emergency department of the CHU. A 30-year-old man was indicted and placed in pre-trial detention for the rape on Saturday evening of a young patient who had gone out to smoke a cigarette and whom he had asked for directions to the toilet.
