The lifeless body of a 12-year-old child was found Sunday evening at the foot of the cliffs of Belle-Ile (Morbihan), we learned from the gendarmerie this Monday morning. It was the child's parents who alerted the gendarmes at around 8:45 p.m., worried not to see him return. His body was found two hours later at the foot of the cliffs in the southern part of the island, not far from the Port-Coton needles. "The teenager would have fallen about 40 meters," said Captain Eric Cochois, assistant to the commander of the Lorient gendarmerie company. His body was found not far from the Le Grand Large hotel in Goulphar.
According to our information, the child had been on vacation with his parents for a week in Bangor. The family from the Paris region was to stay another week on the island of Morbihan. Sunday evening, the young adolescent would have asked his parents for permission to walk.
The Civil Protection helicopter on site
Worried not to see him return, his parents alerted the gendarmes at around 8:45 p.m. The Dragon 56 Civil Security helicopter landed on the island around 10:30 p.m. with a tracking dog from the gendarmerie of Vannes at its edge. Around 9 p.m., the geolocation of the teenager's phone had given nothing, suggesting that he had already died at this time, said Captain Cochois. An investigation was opened by the gendarmerie of Belle-Ile.
