The fire which caused the death of a child on Wednesday morning in an indebted and degraded private condominium in Marseille does not seem to be linked to the condition of the building, the Marseille prosecutor's office said on Friday.
"The first findings (allow) to establish that the fire (was) declared and then spread from the sofa arranged in the center of the main room," said Marseille prosecutor Dominique Laurens in a statement.
No electrical malfunction observed
"No electrical malfunction" was "noted in the apartment where the fire remained contained.
At this stage of the investigations, there is no objective evidence to establish that the outbreak and the spread of the fire were linked or aggravated by the condition of the building, ”added the same source.
Seven people were present in the apartment when the fire broke out shortly before 8 a.m. on the ninth and penultimate floor of a building in the Cité des Rosiers.
A severely burned four-year-old child succumbed to his injuries on the spot during his medical treatment.
Two other children aged five and three, a one month old baby and three adults suffered burns and / or were bothersome to varying degrees by the fumes.
This tragedy had provoked many reactions in the Marseilles political class, some elected officials blaming the degradation of the building.
