“According to initial findings, the victim’s body bore no traces of blows,” a source close to the case is quoted as saying by Le Parisien.
The newspaper stated it does not appear to have been a struggle inside the flat, and the apartment showed no signs of a break-in.
“According to our information, the door to the accommodation, when the emergency services arrived, was firmly closed but not locked.”
Adding: “For the moment, nothing in this case indicates that there was the intervention of a third party.”
Many questions remain regarding the tragic incident and no hypothesis has been ruled out: an ‘erotic asphyxiation’ sex game with a partner gone wrong, a suicide or an accidental autoerotic asphyxiation.
The police in charge of the investigations are awaiting the results of the autopsy of the body and the toxicological examinations.
