Body of Missing EM Lyon Student Flynn Ganneval Found in Rhône, Autopsy Pending

Prosecutors report no signs of third-party involvement pending forensic confirmation.

Overview

  • Rhône firefighters were called shortly after 1 p.m. Thursday to Quai Pierre‑Semard in Oullins‑Pierre‑Bénite, where a body was seen floating in the Yzeron near the Rhône.
  • Police identified the 19-year-old as Flynn Ganneval using clothing and identity papers recovered on the body.
  • The Lyon prosecutor said initial examinations found no lesions and no element indicating outside intervention at this stage.
  • An autopsy has been ordered to establish the cause and precise circumstances of death.
  • Ganneval disappeared around 12:40–1 a.m. on Halloween night near the Le Azar and Le Sucre clubs after briefly leaving friends, prompting family-backed searches with drones, boats, canine teams and private investigators funded by roughly €100,000 in donations.
