Did he want to kill himself?
Did he get lost?
Was he trying to run away?
To take a walk?
After the discovery of the body of a man in the subway tunnel, the questions are many.
For the moment, it is impossible to explain his presence at the place where the RATP machinist found him on Friday.
It was around 1:30 p.m. when the driver of line 13 saw the silhouette in a corner of the tunnel, between the Gabriel-Péri and Les Agnettes stations, in Asnières.
The operator immediately saw that it was a body, stopped the train and alerted the police, who immediately moved.
Legs cut off at the calves
It was indeed the corpse of a man, whose “head and upper body are damaged”, specifies a person close to the investigation.
"His legs are cut off at the calves," said the same source.
The state of the body does not really confirm the hypothesis of suicide.
But the investigators of the police station of Asnières, in charge of the investigations, do not dismiss it completely, supposing that, perhaps, the man entered the tunnel with the intention of ending his life.
The thesis of the accident nevertheless seems more plausible.
But it remains to be seen how and why the victim ended up there.
He is a 53-year-old man, a public finance officer, whose relatives were worried about not having heard from them for a few days.
Indeed, the victim did not show up for work from Wednesday.
If he could be identified, it was because he was carrying his bag containing his identity papers.
According to the first findings, the victim died several days ago.
But an autopsy will be performed to determine the causes and date of death.
