Body of Nadège Klopcic Found Near Var Rail Line as Early Forensic Findings Point to Accident

Prosecutors cite initial medical examiner findings pointing to an accidental death, with cause still to be established.

Overview

  • Authorities confirmed the body found near the railway tracks in Carnoules on November 11 is that of Nadège Klopcic, located around 5 p.m. with the help of a gendarmerie drone.
  • Klopcic, 47, was last heard from on November 9 near Pignans after her car became unusable and she told a friend she would return home by train.
  • The investigation was opened as a ‘disparition inquiétante’ under the Draguignan prosecutor’s office and handled by the Luc-en-Provence brigade.
  • Search efforts mobilized gendarmes, a helicopter, canine teams, a drone, and a community battue of about 100 people across the PignansCarnoules area.
  • Prosecutors favor the accident hypothesis and report no indication of a train strike, while early forensic findings point to accidental death and inquiries now focus on determining the circumstances.
