The 53-year-old practitioner was found lifeless in his home in Eure-et-Loir. His body was wrapped in a tarp held by ropes


"It is not possible, this house is cursed," blows a resident of Dourdan passing in front of the office of Doctor Brion. This Tuesday, the seals placed on the door and windows of the 53-year-old dental surgeon left no room for doubt: after the suicide of the previous practitioner in 2013, a new drama strikes the office on this quiet street just a stone's throw away downtown.

This time, it is the criminal track which interests the investigators of the section of research of Orleans (Loiret) and the brigade of research of Chartres (Eure-et-Loir). The specialist's lifeless body was found, rolled up in a tarpaulin, in the bedroom of his home in Coulombs (Eure-et-Loir), about forty kilometers from Dourdan.

It was an employee who gave the alert

The alert was given Monday morning by an employee of the office, worried not to see the dentist take up his service. “This person called the gendarmerie of Nogent-le-Roi (Eure-et-Loir), relates Rémi Coutin, prosecutor of the Republic of Chartres. There was no forced entry into the home, but a door was open at the back of this home. The gendarmes rushed in and made the macabre discovery in the bedroom.

The soldiers find the dentist lying on his bed, wrapped in a tarpaulin held by ropes. Traces of strangulation were noted by the medical examiner. "The death could be the result of a tight tie around the neck, suggests a judicial source. But we must wait for the result of the autopsy scheduled for Thursday. "

"If I had known he was in danger, I would have stayed at home with my dog"

In the small village of Eure-et-Loir where the dentist owned a beautiful 19th-century house bordered by the river, the neighbors greet a “deeply nice” man. The reddened eyes, Olivier, 37, regrets "not to have smelled the dirty trick". "But why didn't I come for a drink on Sunday," asks the 30-year-old. If I had known he was in danger, I would have stayed with him with my dog. "

Claudine, her closest neighbor, also describes her as "a man of great kindness": "He liked beautiful things, he had a lot of culture," emphasizes the pensioner. To make everything beautiful, he had many jobs done in his house. His garden was also impeccable, he frequented all the garden centers in the area to beautify it. "His taste for beautiful things led him to install a fountain and a pond in front of his property," adds Michel, 78 years old.

"It's terrible what just happened ..."

A lover of nature, Jorge also loved animals. "He was passionate about birds," says Olivier. At his place, there are parrots, parakeets ... And his garden was populated with geese and ducks. Not just any ducks, very beautiful ducks. "

Discreet about his place of residence, the dentist was just as discreet around his office. "I live right next door," says a local resident. We greeted each other when we crossed paths… ”In the city center, one of his patients now understands why the shutters remained closed. "I went for treatment once in his office," he says. It's terrible what just happened ... I was about to go to the municipal police to report the shutters closed. "
