Thanks to blood samples from the charred body allowing DNA to be found and thanks to the registration of the car, the soldiers were able to identify the person: it was a 74-year-old resident of Longueville, like the revealed the Republic of Seine-et-Marne.
The victim had already mentioned suicide
“According to the autopsy carried out on Monday, the body does not show any traces of violence,” says Jean-Michel Bourlès, public prosecutor at the Melun judicial court.
All avenues are being considered, in particular that of suicide because “she had already talked about it”, according to the magistrate.
Unless it was an accident?
