Video evaluation in progress
«The investigations are continuing. The ride was sealed for inspection. Several witnesses were heard and a video from a third party is currently being evaluated,” said the public prosecutor.
According to previous findings, the victim was secured with the intended safety device, a type of barrier. The prosecutor emphasizes that it is now a matter of understanding what happened to this device and why it did not protect the victim.

Because of the death, the Blois fair, which was scheduled to take place from March 30th to April 21st, was closed a day earlier than planned. The city administration said it “shares the family’s pain.” She also emphasized investing a lot in the security of the fair. Each ride would be examined individually as well as the fair as a whole.
