Turnaround in the “Myriam affair”, a 15-year-old girl who died on February 25 in an apartment in Fontainebleau.
The autopsy finally revealed that the young girl, who had run away, died because of an excess of acetone in her body, the Fontainebleau prosecutor's office told Le
Figaro
this Tuesday , confirming information from Le
Parisien
.
The first elements of the investigation suggested that the teenager had died as a result of drug use.
Suffering from type 1 diabetes, Myriam had to follow treatment with two daily injections.
However, according to the teenager's two friends present in the apartment at the time of death, the victim
"had not taken her antidiabetic treatment for three days"
, they told investigators.
Acetone
“can be caused by unstabilized diabetes, and can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis which causes significant toxic effects that can be life-threatening,”
the prosecution further specifies.
Running away from a support center
Could the use of narcotics accelerate the effects of diabetes?
This is a question still pending for Arnaud Faugère, the Fontainebleau prosecutor, who is relying on the investigations of the investigation.
Myriam had run away on Friday February 23 from a Social Support and Intervention System (DAIS) in Melun, dependent on the Educational and Social Action Association of the Seine-et-Marne department (ADSEA 77).
Two days later, the young girl's body was discovered in an apartment in Fontainebleau, rented by one of her two friends.
Under pressure from investigators, the two suspects confessed to having consumed drugs on the evening of his escape.
However, everything did not go as planned.
On Sunday, Myriam seemed plunged into
“deep sleep”
and no longer responded
“to stimuli
,” reported Arnaud Faugère, adding that the two friends had decided to call for help at that time.
After the discovery of the facts, the two young girls were indicted for
“involuntary manslaughter”
and placed under judicial supervision.
