Without news, his family was right to worry. The body of Isabelle Leroy, aged 50, was found on Tuesday by the Spanish police according to our colleagues at Free Midday. The “great sportswoman” left on September 24 from Millau in Aveyron to hike around Mont Perdu, in the Pyrenees, on the border between France and Spain according to her family who had launched, just a few hours before the discovery of the body, a call for witnesses to find her on Facebook.
Warned, the French and Spanish authorities left on Tuesday to look for the hiker. The Spanish police first found the Aveyronnaise’s vehicle in a parking lot in Nérin, in Aragon, located at the start of a hiking trail. A helicopter reconnaissance subsequently made it possible to find the body of Isabelle Leroy in the area.
An investigation was opened to determine the circumstances of the death.
