The firefighters, called at 6:45 p.m., discovered the lifeless body of the victim when they arrived at the scene, avenue de la Couronne. The fire broke out on the second floor of a building. The smoke development was particularly important. The victim was apparently a collector of many items. The cause of the disaster is apparently accidental. The inhabitants of the first two floors had to be temporarily relocated, the building still having to be ventilated.
