During the night of Saturday May 11 to Sunday May 12, in Paris, firefighters discovered a body under the Austerlitz bridge, in the 12th arrondissement. It was civil protection agents and firefighters who discovered him in a burned suitcase, according to information from Actu 17.
The suitcase discovered after a trash fire
The police made the first observations on site. Around midnight, a trash fire was reported by civil protection agents.

The findings took a long time.
In the suitcase there are several body parts. Some would be missing. An autopsy is expected to take place. No information was given regarding the identity of the body. We also don’t know his gender.
