The investigation into the death of a nonagenarian in Grandpré (Ardennes), discovered on June 2, is progressing.

According to

L'Union

, doubt remains as to the causes of death and the trail of a homicide has not been ruled out.

The prosecutor of Charleville-Mézières, Laurent de Caigny, indicated Wednesday that the intervention of a third person was not excluded.

The body of the 90-year-old woman had been discovered by firefighters who intervened for a gas leak in her apartment.

The victim was lying on the ground, covered in blood.

She had been taken care of by the funeral directors after the intervention of a doctor to certify the death.

Wounds on the body

But the employees had noted the presence of wounds on the body during the mortuary toilet and had given the alert, relate our colleagues.

An investigation into the causes of death was therefore opened and an autopsy was carried out, specifies

L'Ardennais

.

The medical examiner concluded that the death was potentially unnatural, the prosecutor told

L'Union

, while remaining cautious.

Police investigations are continuing.
