Overview

• The 17-year-old was found dead at her family home in Mulhouse during the night from Sunday to Monday, a few hours after filing a complaint.
• She reported a group altercation in central Mulhouse on Sunday afternoon and alleged malicious phone calls and moral harassment shortly before 23:00.
• Prosecutor Nicolas Heitz said initial findings indicate a death by suicide and confirmed a judicial investigation is underway.
• The Mulhouse prosecutor’s office assigned the local police judiciaire to determine the cause of death and any potential offenses, and investigators seized surveillance footage for analysis.
• Prosecutors noted that, based on early elements, the reported incidents did not occur in a school setting, and media coverage is placing the case alongside other publicly reported youth suicides that weekend without asserting links.
