His body was found at the bottom of a precipice located four kilometers from the center of the station where the victim, of English origin, had been drinking before returning to his accommodation with a friend.
He wanted to go home
According to the first elements of the investigation, he would have lost himself while trying to return home in the middle of the night, then would have fallen heavily by cutting through a steep path "instead of following the road", said the gendarmes.
