A couple of septuagenarians and their daughter were found dead on their homes at their home in a Hautes-Alpes village, the Gap prosecutor and the gendarmerie told AFP on Sunday.
The couple “born in the 1950s and their adult daughter” were found “dead by ball” at the end of the day at La Bâtie-Neuve, a village 10 km from Gap, said the prosecutor Marion Lozac’hmeur, confirming information from BFM from here. According to the gendarmerie, the couple’s daughter is about thirty years old.
The three bodies were found at the couple’s home. The exact age of the three family members was not specified, or if the girl usually lived with her parents.
Current survey
The gendarmes were called by the firefighters around 6:30 p.m., and the “findings are underway, with the support and support of two technicians in criminal investigation of the Hautes-Alpes group,” said the gendarmerie on Sunday.
“No hypothesis is dismissed at this stage,” she said, and the Gap research brigade was responsible for the investigation. A medical examiner from Grenoble is expected on the spot, according to the prosecutor which will communicate more “probably” on Monday “in the light of the new elements collected”.
La Bâtie-Neuve, which has some 2,600 inhabitants, is located in the south of the Hautes-Alpes near the ski resorts and the very tourist lake of Serre-Ponçon. The locality and its hamlets extend over a large area at an altitude ranging from 800 meters to 2400 meters.
