A 75-year-old grandmother and her 8-month-old grandson drowned on Friday in a swimming pool in Préserville, 25 kilometers southeast of Toulouse, we learned on Saturday from a source close to the investigation.
The infant’s mother had entrusted him to his mother-in-law for the time to leave the home to give a lesson. On her return, she looked for them everywhere, before finding their bodies in the swimming pool, under the tarp that covered it.
A probable accident
An investigation has been opened to find the causes of these deaths. Autopsies will be performed on Monday. Investigators say it was most likely an accident.
