Overview

• A medico-legal doctor determined the 50-year-old’s death was natural after finding no signs of violence
• The victim, recently evicted, was discovered naked in a locked 4 m² cagibi with an 80 cm ceiling and no ventilation
• Authorities have not yet identified the precise medical cause and are awaiting further autopsy or toxicology results
• The cagibi’s owner, who suffered a malaise after making the discovery, will be reinterviewed once his health stabilizes
• The case underscores the vulnerabilities of informal micro-dwellings and occurs alongside other Paris investigations into unattended deaths
