“Everyone was trapped”: investigation after a fatal drowning in Saint-Malo before the Route du rhum. 138 competitors at the start and more than 1.5 million visitors expected.
Jacques was taking advantage of the last moments of tranquility to swim at Môle, the family beach in Intra-Muros when he felt unwell. Emergency services tried to resuscitate him upon their arrival, in vain, reports the local press. But according to Emmanuel, who was present on site, the firefighters took much longer than usual to arrive.
