The disappearance of the teenager had strongly mobilized.
Volatilized on December 31 in Lugny (Saône-et-Loire), the body of young Anthony Lambert was discovered Sunday morning by hunters five kilometers from where he lived, indicates the local press.
The 17-year-old boy, who was in a field, was naked.
On December 31, the teenager left the campsite of the association where he had been placed.
It was the last time he was seen.
A search notice was launched on January 4 to find the young man with clear eyes.
Party with a bag of clothes
The gendarmes then did not envisage the trail of the kidnapping or the bad meeting but rather that of a runaway.
Anthony had indeed taken a bag full of clothes with him.
Patrols of gendarmes, dog teams, a drone and a helicopter had crisscrossed the area and found the teenager.
A fight was organized last Friday.
In vain, until this Sunday morning.
An autopsy of the body is due to take place on Monday.
According to France 3, a first examination of the body did not allow to detect traces of blow or to consider a criminal act.
