Overview

  • Authorities confirm that Caroline Grandjean, 42, was found dead on September 1 near Anglards-de-Salers after a fall of about 30 meters, having contacted the national suicide-prevention line earlier that morning.
  • The Moussages primary school director had faced repeated homophobic slurs, tags and death threats since 2023, prompting multiple complaints.
  • A criminal investigation opened in 2024 into homophobic insults, death threats and vandalism identified no suspects and was closed in March 2025, the Aurillac prosecutor said.
  • The Education Ministry says it granted protection fonctionnelle, alerted the prosecutor and arranged support measures, with a listening cell now active in the Mauriac district.
  • Élisabeth Borne has tasked the IGESR with an administrative investigation as unions and politicians demand clarity on the handling of prior alerts and protections.
