A septuagenarian died Wednesday evening in Grimaud, in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez (Var), after the burglary of her villa. This lady suffered a heart attack shortly after the burglary of her home, by thieves who fled.

The 79-year-old woman was in her house with a family friend serving as a watchman when the criminals operated on, the source said. It was this friend who called for help and informed the gendarmerie immediately after the incident.

"A priori there was no violence carried out"

“The owner was unwell, in all likelihood a cardiovascular accident. A priori there was no violence exerted "during the burglary, also said the gendarmerie.

"Findings are underway" to establish what the thieves were able to take with them. The investigation was entrusted to the research section of the Marseille gendarmerie.
