A 90-year-old man died during a hunting trip in Saint-Paul-sur-Ubaye, a small town in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region of southeastern France, on Sunday, September 13. The man fell from a height of about five meters—roughly the height of a two-story building—for reasons that are currently unknown. The incident occurred in a rural area, where hunting is a common activity during certain seasons.
Emergency services were called to the scene quickly after the fall and arrived within minutes. However, despite their efforts, they were unable to revive the man. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The local authorities have since launched an investigation to determine the exact cause of the fall and whether any external factors contributed to the incident.
Saint-Paul-sur-Ubaye is located in a mountainous region known for its natural beauty and outdoor activities. Hunting is a traditional practice in such areas, often conducted in forests or on hillsides. While accidents can happen during these activities, this case has drawn attention due to the man’s age and the tragic outcome.
Authorities have not yet released any additional details about the investigation, but they are expected to look into the circumstances surrounding the fall. The community is reportedly mourning the loss of the elderly man, and further updates are anticipated as the inquiry continues.
