This Tuesday morning around 10:30 a.m., a 22-year-old mentally handicapped young man was found dead at the “Le Pays des Merveilles” center in Trembleur, in the commune of Blegny.

The young man was discovered lifeless in his room. Although he had marks on his neck, the forensic doctor who went to the scene noted that they were not strangulation marks. According to his initial findings, however, it was not a suicide. He cannot currently explain the causes of this death, but the position in which the young man was found nevertheless led him to conclude that the death was suspicious.

An autopsy of the body will therefore be carried out this Wednesday to determine the cause of death and try to see things more clearly. The case was also put under investigation. If the victim is described as someone extremely fragile, his condition seemed to have greatly improved in recent weeks, showing obvious progress. This does not, however, exclude the theory of suicide. Only the forensic examination will therefore be able to resolve all doubts.
