The toxicological analyzes of Kelly Meafua, the Samoan third center line from Montauban, who drowned on May 6, confirm that the player, who was celebrating the end of the season that evening with his team, was alcoholic.
"The analyzes of his blood samples taken after his death confirm that Kelly Meafua had a level of 2.34 g of alcohol in his blood", indicates the public prosecutor of Montauban, Bruno Sauvage, to the Dispatch , which reveals that the player had also used cocaine, after the match.
"The experts assure that the taking of this drug took place only 4 to 8 hours before the death", specifies the Prosecutor who adds: "There were no blows received, no violence was exerted on him before he jumped from the Pont-Vieux.
His death is also not a suicide.
According to the investigation, Kelly Meafua voluntarily jumped off the bridge in the early morning, in a "challenge", as he left a downtown nightclub where he had celebrated the success of his team, the Union sportive montalbanaise on Narbonne (48-40), last home game of the season for which he started.
The father of the family was accompanied by two other players: his teammate, the French pillar Christopher Vaotoa, and an opponent from Narbonne.
"I saw a second person jump to try to help him and I held the third, very alcoholic, who wanted to do the same," said a passerby, who witnessed the scene.
The firefighters who arrived very quickly had taken Christopher Vaotoa out of the water, in hypothermia.
The body of Kelly Meafua is found two hours after her disappearance, about thirty meters from the bridge.
Without life.
