The essentials
Prosecutor finds no connection between police intervention and homeless man's death 13 days later.
A judicial inquiry into voluntary assault allegations against a national police officer in Carcassonne has progressed as investigators examine the circumstances surrounding a homeless man's death. The man died 13 days after a police intervention that responded to repeated noise complaints during a music festival day.
The prosecutor has stated there is no causal link between the police intervention and the man's death, according to available findings. An autopsy previously ruled out traumatic injury as the cause of death, establishing that physical trauma from the encounter did not directly cause the fatality.
A video of the police incident was posted on social media, providing documentation of the intervention. The judicial inquiry continues to examine the sequence of events and circumstances surrounding both the police intervention and the subsequent death.
