Autopsy Finds No Trauma in Death of Man Found in Dunkerque KFC Restroom

Prosecutors opened a cause-of-death inquiry pending further tests.

Overview

  • The 46-year-old entered the restaurant around 1 p.m. on Friday, went to the upstairs toilets, and did not return to his job at a nearby bank.
  • Relatives found his car at the site, reviewed CCTV showing he did not exit the toilets, accessed the area on Saturday after 6 p.m., and discovered his body, estimating more than 30 hours had passed.
  • The Dunkerque prosecutor said the autopsy revealed no traumatic lesions and early findings do not indicate third-party involvement, with additional medico-legal examinations ongoing.
  • KFC France said the franchised restaurant is cooperating with an internal investigation, conveyed condolences to the family, and set up psychological support for staff.
  • The family has engaged legal counsel and begun proceedings alleging failures in access and checks at the restaurant, also criticizing that service continued after the discovery.
