A Belgian homeless was found dead on 30 December in a yard of Rodez, Aveyron, where he was sheltered. This is the sixth person to die homeless in France since the cold wave plaguing much of the country.
Man 42 years died in Rodez was found dead around 13:30 by firefighters, alerted by an individual. He had made a makeshift shelter with materials from one site to stop for a few days. On site, Rodez police found several empty bottles of alcohol.
Investigators favor the hypothesis of a death from hypothermia, but the cause of death is still being determined, pending an examination by a forensic doctor that will take place on Wednesday.
The homeless had been hosted for about a month, until November 1, in a center for homeless Rodez, said the prefecture, without being able to say why he left this center . The plan “Green vigilance”, set up to temperatures between 0 and -10 degrees, is in force in Aveyron. It provides for the passage of a marauding four times a week, but the presence of the Belgian SDF was unknown. It was becoming invisible from the outside, housed in the covered and fenced yard, said the prefecture.
Richard Mir, chief of the prefecture, said that 300 accommodation places for emergency had been made available. “Today, we get to meet identified needs,” he said at a press conference, noting that the hotels that can be requisitioned if necessary, have so far not needed to be. Temperatures dropped to -8 degrees in the night of Monday to Tuesday in Rodez.
