Angèle Metzger Found Dead After Apparent Fall in Seine‑Saint‑Denis

Police are analysing building surveillance to establish how she entered a non‑public area.

Overview

  • Her body was discovered Saturday morning at the foot of the Centre Communal d’Action Sociale building in Les Pavillons‑sous‑Bois and emergency teams were unable to revive her.
  • Video‑surveillance footage reportedly shows Metzger crossing a barrier into a restricted stairway or platform above an underground car park before the fall.
  • Investigators from the Livry‑Gargan commissariat have taken charge of the inquiry and are examining camera images and scene evidence to map the sequence of events.
  • Personal effects belonging to Metzger were recovered at the scene but police say there is no confirmation at this stage that the fall was deliberate.
  • Metzger, 27, rose to national attention as the lead in 2022’s Chair Tendre and had recent screen appearances including the Fontaines D.C. clip 'Japan'; the probe and its findings are likely to shape public coverage and scrutiny of building access and security.
