Pyrénées-Orientales: a mother and her little daughter found dead in their apartment. The two victims were discovered Thursday by firefighters who were responding to a fire.

According to initial information, the deaths were of accidental origin. “It seems that the young woman felt unwell, and that when she fell, the cigarette she was smoking caused a fire, which fortunately quickly extinguished itself, but which undoubtedly caused her death by asphyxiation, of the little girl,” indicates Nicolas Brignol.
