On Thursday January 12, 2023, a little girl was found dead in a washing machine in an apartment in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. According to M6Info, the first results of the autopsy would exclude the criminal hypothesis.
It’s a case that has puzzled investigators from the start.. As told The Parisian on January 13, 2023, a three-year-old girl was found dead in the washing machine of the family apartment in the 20th arrondissement of Paris on January 12. “We don’t know at all what happened”, then explained to the daily a source close to the investigation. The trail of suffocation was considered by the investigators, while no trace of a blow seemed to have been found on the girl’s body.
This January 27, M6Info reveals that the autopsy would confirm this absence of blows and would also rule out asphyxiation, excluding the criminal hypothesis. François Vignolle, head of investigations for the news of the chain, indeed revealed this Friday that“no trace of blows was found on the body” of the little girl. “The origin of death would not be due to asphyxiation either”he adds, before specifying that justice ordered “further analyzes to try to determine the reasons for death”.
The little girl found dead had just celebrated her third birthday
As the story goes The Parisian, the little girl had just celebrated her third birthday a week earlier. While his parents were having dinner on Thursday, January 12, 2023, with one of their children, the other four were not at the table. Not seeing their little girl reappear after this dinner, they got worried and went looking for him. It was her father and one of her brothers who discovered her in critical condition in the washing machine. The account of the father of the family suggested that the door of the device was closed at the time of their discovery.
The call to the Samu unfortunately could not save the little girl, repeated attempts at cardiac massage did nothing. It remains to wait for the additional analyzes requested by the courts and a possible progress in the investigation to understand how such a tragedy could have occurred.
