Impact reported that Christophe M., a 59-year-old intermittent worker living in Ivry-sur-Seine who had come to protest for purchasing power, died on October 17 in Paris. Alerted around 6:21 PM, firefighters took charge of him near the Jacques Bonsergent station and then transported him to the barracks on Rue du Château-d’Eau, where he died at 6:56 PM from a cardiorespiratory arrest. The police prefecture justified this relocation due to the deterioration of security conditions in the area, where looting and clashes were taking place. According to Impact, the family was preparing a complaint with the IGPN for willful violence that resulted in death without the intention to cause it. His relatives particularly suspected tear gas of having contributed to his death. The family lawyer stated that Christophe M. had no health issues and condemned the lack of information regarding the investigation. Impact, quoting BFMTV, indicated that no autopsy had yet been performed six days after the events, although an autopsy had been planned as part of the investigation opened by the Paris public prosecutor's office. The lawyer also anticipated a call for witnesses to find any potential videos. Impact also reported that a second death linked to the protest movement had been confirmed in Paris: a 48-year-old man reportedly died on October 19 around 1:10 AM on Rue Berger after a medical emergency in a public area. The circumstances were still to be established. #JusticePourChristophe #Manifestation #Paris (translated)

According to him, the Centaur armored vehicles and water cannons had not been used on Saturday, and law enforcement should be allowed to resort to the means at their disposal. #République #Émeutes #Sécurité (translated)
