A 12-year-old girl died during a horse show this Sunday morning at the Les Troubadours equestrian center in La Buisse (Isère).

As Grenoble prosecutor Eric Vaillant points out, “she was trampled by her horse after a fall”.

The Grenoble prosecutor's office, which confirms information from the

Dauphiné Libéré

, has opened an investigation to find the causes of death, in order to carry out all the necessary checks.

The investigation was entrusted to the gendarmerie company of Saint-Marcellin (Isère).

In cardio-respiratory arrest when help arrived, the young rider was taken care of by the firefighters and a team from Samu, then helicoptered in critical condition to the CHU Grenoble Alpes.

The victim died on arrival at the hospital.

A psychological cell was set up with the participants in this departmental horse riding competition, which included the young Iséroise.
