The tragic disappearance of Christophe Dominici may remain a mystery.
So far, the investigation opened after the death of the rugby player, who died after a fall from ten meters high in Saint-Cloud (Hauts-de-Seine) on Tuesday, does not allow to conclude to suicide or to the accident.
Heard this Thursday by investigators, the key witness to the tragedy, a cyclist, described a fall difficult to interpret.
Tuesday afternoon, this man was about to enter the park of Saint-Cloud by the large gate when he saw Christophe Dominici on the sidewalk of the avenue de la Grille-d'Honneur.
The rugby player was descending the steep artery when suddenly he tipped over to the right side, passing over the concrete parapet bordering the avenue.
The witness described a man falling "from his full height".
He did not see him step over the parapet or climb on it to fall.
