The young boy threw himself out of the window of his parents' home on Tuesday, located on Boulevard Garibaldi, in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. He would have been seen during his fall by the driver and passengers of a train, according to a source close to the case.

This suicide could be linked to “a conflict” with his father, who “adopted strict methods on how to educate his son”, specified the source. The child left a letter to explain his actions.
