A judicial investigation was opened by the gendarmerie.
“It is a dramatic accident, the firefighters called me, an assistant to the town hall was able to go there.

Unfortunately, the attempts at resuscitation gave nothing, and this man died on the spot,” explained the mayor of Loubédat Bernard Sempé.
