The exact circumstances are not yet known, but it would seem that the young man has died due to a violent collision with a rock.
Has he slipped or received himself on rocks underwater, at a depth not large enough? The investigation will have to shed light on the circumstances of this drama.
Rescue and a helicopter, arrived quickly on the spot, could not do anything for the young man who, not from the region, would have ties to Fayence.
Unfortunately, each summer, serious accidents occur on the seaside, many young people do not resist the idea of making spectacular jumps, and thus brave a significant danger.
The city of Saint-Raphaël, aware of the danger that the rocks of its coast can represent, has issued a municipal decree, for many years, prohibiting jumps in order to prevent accidents.
Many Raphaëlois have in memory the fatal accident of 2009, which occurred at Dramont, following which the city issued this municipal decree.
