BFM TV INFO. The examinations carried out on the fetus made it possible to confirm that the child carried by the passenger of the vehicle struck by the actor is indeed dead due to the accident and that he was born “viable and alive” a few hours following the collision.
More than two weeks following the accident caused by Pierre Palmade in Seine-et-Marne, we know a little more regarding the death of the baby of the passenger in the second vehicle. According to information obtained by BFMTV from a source close to the investigation, the first analyzes confirm that the child died due to the accident caused by the actor.
Born “viable and alive” at 10:18 p.m., declared dead at 10:51 p.m.
According to the first medical examination, the fetus was born “viable and alive” at 10:18 p.m., the evening of the accident, by a Caesarean section. His death was declared at 10:51 p.m., and the examination shows that the death of this child, who presented “no malformations”, occurred “in the context of an accident to see public”.
The Melun prosecutor ordered new additional analyzes including an anatomopathological examination and a summary expertise.
The question around the viability of the baby is central to the rest of the case. Pierre Palmade was indicted for homicide and involuntary injuries, it was not known until now whether the fetus had died or not as a result of the accident.
If these elements are confirmed, and with the two aggravating circumstances retained by the courts, taking cocaine while driving and the breach of an obligation of safety and prudence, Pierre Palmade faces up to 20 years in prison.
