Overview
- Authorities say a 46-year-old volunteer firefighter from Salbris died Monday morning in a head-on motorcycle collision with a truck on the D2020.
- Later that day, responders discovered his partner, born in 1995, deceased at their home in Salbris, with the autopsy citing death by asphyxia from strangulation.
- The Blois prosecutor described as plausible, yet not confirmed, a scenario of domestic homicide followed by the man’s suicide.
- Two legal investigations are underway for involuntary homicide by a driver and for murder of a spouse to determine the relationship between the crash and the in-home death.
- The couple’s two-year-old daughter was found at the residence, and child protection services are arranging a family placement solution.
