The scene discovered by the firefighters this Friday in Courbevoie (Hauts-de-seine) was particularly sordid. In a poorly maintained and messy apartment, a man lay almost naked on his bed, his ankles bound but his hands free, a plastic bag over his head. Around the bed, various accessories and sex toys were strewn. The firefighters were alerted by a colleague of the victim’s office who was worried about not having any news.
The police and the deputy public prosecutor of Nanterre quickly joined the rescue services in this apartment in rue Lambrechts. The victim is 43 years old, an IT executive. “According to initial findings, the victim’s body bore no traces of blows. It does not seem that there was a struggle and the apartment does not reveal any trace of a break-in, “said a source familiar with the matter to our colleagues from the Parisian.
Did the man want to end his life? Is it a sexual game aimed at achieving orgasm by asphyxiation? Was he in the presence of a partner? No lead has yet been ruled out. In the absence of elements indicating the intervention of a third party, the Nanterre prosecutor’s office entrusted the investigation for research into the causes of death to the local police station.
