An autopsy was requested to clarify the circumstances of the death on Sunday of a resident of the Roseraie district in Toulouse.

It was the home help of this lady in her sixties who made the macabre discovery.

She gave the alert shortly after 6 p.m. and called the fire brigade after detecting the traces of a fire, already extinguished when help arrived.

According to police sources, the traces of fire were located at the level of the victim's respiratory system.

An investigation has been opened to determine if a malfunction of the device caused the death of the victim, or if the device caught fire after the death of the sexagenarian.

An autopsy should reveal more.
