It was a moment which was meant to be festive but which ended dramatically.
A 23-year-old man was killed during the night from Saturday to Sunday during a party organized in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.
This boy accidentally fell from the sixth floor of a building where about fifty guests were attending a private party.
Around 3 am at 19 rue Jean Giraudoux, around thirty alcoholic people decide to go up to the roof terrace.
"The victim stepped on a canopy which gave way under the weight of his body," said a source close to the case.
The man falls from six floors, or about twelve meters.
The horrified witnesses immediately warned the firefighters.
The firefighters arrive quickly and try to come to the aid of the injured.
Despite their efforts, the victim died at 3:19 a.m.
The accidental origin is not in doubt
The body was taken to the forensic institute.
An autopsy was scheduled to find out the exact causes of death.
The 16th arrondissement police station is responsible for further investigating this death, the accidental origin of which is not in doubt at this stage of the investigation.
The last weekend was marked by many clandestine evenings in Paris against the backdrop of the Invalides, the Carrousel du Louvre and the Tuileries, which were sometimes difficult to disperse by the police.
