Throughout his life, Ari Boulogne believed he was the son of French acting icon Alain Delon. Until the very end, however, he was not certain. Now the 60-year-old is dead.
What happened to Ari Boulogne, † 60? All that is known so far is that the Frenchman, who thought he was the son of Alain Delon, 87, was found dead in his Paris apartment. One person was arrested. “Le Parisien” first reported on the case, and the Paris public prosecutor’s office confirmed the same. Investigations have now been initiated to “clarify the circumstances under which the death of the half-paralyzed victim could have occurred”.
What happened to Alain Delon’s supposed son?
As “Le Parisien” continues to write, a person was arrested in the deceased’s apartment. It is said to be the artist’s 58-year-old partner. The woman returned from a trip on Saturday night and found the artist dead in the living room. It must now be determined whether she is partly to blame or even solely responsible for his death.
However, Ari Boulogne may have died of natural causes. “Le Parisien” also reports that his health has deteriorated drastically in recent weeks. After a fall he had to sit in a wheelchair. “The last time I spoke to him a month ago, he was in a wheelchair after a serious fall,” the French newspaper quoted a friend of Ari’s as saying.
The Tragic Life of Ari Boulogne
Ari Boulogne was 60 years old and assumed throughout his life that he was the son of Alain Delon. This has never been confirmed, but Ari was adopted and raised as a child by Alain Delon’s mother Edith. The actor still denies paternity to this day. Ari’s mother was a successful model named Nico who was also known as a singer. She helped rock band Velvet Underground achieve international success. She passed away in 1988.
A tragic life has an equally tragic end.
