This inhabitant of Tarare, had not given any sign of life since Thursday, January 6. He left behind the wheel of his gray Dacia Duster. The local gendarmerie brigade had therefore, this Saturday, called for witnesses to find him. And this Sunday, January 9, shortly before 2 p.m., this octogenarian was discovered lifeless in his vehicle.
The vehicle seen by a young woman on a motorcycle
It was found by walkers on a small footpath in the forest of Brou, in Ternand, in Beaujolais.
The man took a small dirt road on the edge of the D629, then he entered a clearing, and parked behind some bushes. It had snowed in the area for the past few days, which is probably why the helicopter had not spotted it.
It was a young man who rides motocross who saw the vehicle on Friday afternoon. And again on Saturday. He then spoke about it to his mother who had seen our call for witnesses. He therefore returned to the site at the beginning of the afternoon this Sunday with his father. And noted that it was indeed the Tararien.
The first findings are underway by the gendarmes and a forensic doctor must intervene to declare his death. The Villefranche-sur-Saône public prosecutor’s office will then decide whether an autopsy should be performed, or a physical examination.
