Nine-Year-Old Found Dead in Sarreguemines as Investigators Favor Suicide Theory

Overview

  • The child was discovered unresponsive at the family home on Saturday morning, and emergency services were unable to resuscitate her.
  • The Sarreguemines prosecutor says investigators currently privilege the hypothesis of suicide and do not suspect third‑party involvement at this stage.
  • A medico‑legal examination in Strasbourg is scheduled in the coming days to determine the precise cause and circumstances of death.
