Friday will obviously be another emotional day.
While waiting to know the circumstances of the tragedy, the funeral of Christophe Dominici will take place that day in Hyères (2:30 p.m., Saint-Louis church), near Toulon (Var), his hometown and where he launched his rugby career. .
The former French international winger will then be buried, in the family vault in the cemetery of the Var city, with his older sister Pascale, who died in 1986 in a traffic accident.
On Wednesday, a mass will be celebrated at 10 am, in the Sainte-Cécile church of Boulogne-Billancourt (Hauts-de-Seine) in the privacy.
Domi, as he was called, died last Tuesday at the age of 48 when he fell ten meters in Saint-Cloud (Hauts-de-Seine).
A witness told investigators that he had seen him walking on the sidewalk of avenue de la Grille-d'Honneur, near the Park, down the sloping artery then suddenly switch to the right side, thus passing by above the concrete parapet bordering the avenue.
