He worried. “I waited a while to make sure the feet didn’t move.” So that the thirty-year-old acquired a certainty. “This man was dying, probably deceased.”
Partly exposed to the sun, the body lay on its back, one hand on its stomach, with no sign of breathing, “in a state of apparent death.” Convinced that it was too late and renouncing the idea of approaching closer, Abdel alerted the emergency services. “They arrived very quickly. In ten minutes the ambulance was there”.
The man had not moved. Near the body, you might see syringes.
The person was taken care of following the paramedics found that she was “high on crack”. She had chosen a worksite toilet cubicle that we will not describe: “Even the workers no longer dare to go there”.
Abdel wants to alert. “With the Yser metro station where you find drug dealers and the Parc Maximilien where you see drug addicts, the district has become a foil. And opposite, prostitution has returned to the Alhambra district with very young girls on the sidewalk”. At the same time, the kids are going to play in the park, patients are coming out of the nearby clinic, as are the clients of a fitness room. We look away and move on. A few hundred meters from Place de Brouckère. Others, like Abdel, are indignant to see this, refuse to trivialize and alert the emergency services at the sight of a person in danger.
