Was it an accident, attempted suicide or homicide?
This is the main question after a 45-year-old man was fished out overnight from Sunday to Monday October 3 in the waters of La Brague, in Antibes (Alpes-Maritimes).
It was fishermen who noticed the presence of a body drifting, inanimate, in the coastal river, around 12:30 a.m., according to a source close to the investigation.
The latter immediately informed the emergency services, which arrived a few minutes later.
The victim was then in cardiopulmonary arrest but was able to be revived by the firefighters who gave him cardiac massage.
