In Marseille, a 27-year-old man died on Sunday during the nightly unrest, which has since subsided. The reason for this is, as the Public Prosecution Service announced on Wednesday, probably a hit by a police rubber bullet.
According to initial findings, the impact of the projectile in the chest area led to cardiac arrest. At the time, the area was rocked by “riots and looting,” prosecutors said. However, it is unclear whether the 27-year-old participated. The public prosecutor’s office has launched an investigation into the circumstances.
