A 36-year-old man fell from the roof of a hangar, landing seven meters below on the ground, where he was found unconscious, according to the gendarmes. Firefighters responded to the scene and provided assistance to the injured man, who suffered serious injuries from the fall. At the time of his transport by helicopter to the CHU of Besançon, his condition was described as critical.
The gendarmes mentioned that a criminal investigation technician was involved in the case, and an official report was sent to the labor inspection authority. This type of report is often used to determine whether workplace safety regulations were followed and if any legal actions are needed.
This Wednesday, the gendarmes confirmed that the victim did not survive the fall and was declared dead. Following this, the prosecutor's office requested an autopsy to be conducted. Autopsies are performed to determine the exact cause of death and to gather evidence that may be relevant to any potential legal proceedings.
The incident has raised concerns about safety protocols in place at the location of the fall. While no further details have been released, the involvement of a criminal investigation suggests that authorities are looking into whether the accident was due to negligence or other preventable factors.
