The body of a 34-year-old man was found on Wednesday August 12 near his vehicle on a departmental road in the town of Ota in Corse-du-Sud, we learned from the Ajaccio prosecutor's office.
" We can not yet qualify the facts of homicide, the search for the cause of death is underway, but suicide is very unlikely ", told AFP Hélène Faessel, deputy prosecutor of Ajaccio , who was going there.
According to a source close to the investigation, the man, probably shot in the stomach, has family ties with a person unfavorably known to the authorities.
