Discovery of Bodies in the Seine
French police have recovered four adult male bodies from the Seine river near Choisy-le-Roi, approximately 10 kilometers southeast of Paris. The grim discovery occurred along a stretch of the river known for its proximity to a makeshift homeless encampment hidden among riverside vegetation.
Sequence of Discovery
The first body was spotted by a passenger on the RER commuter train yesterday afternoon. Authorities were alerted and quickly located the initial victim. Water police then discovered three additional bodies within a 50-meter radius - one caught in riverside vegetation and another drifting with the current.
Condition of Victims
Three bodies showed advanced decomposition indicating prolonged submersion, while the fourth appeared less deteriorated. Three victims were clothed, while one was partially unclothed. Police noted the men appeared to be of African and North African descent.
Ongoing Investigation
Investigators have not established connections between the victims or determined causes of death. Autopsies have been ordered to identify the deceased and clarify circumstances. Police haven't ruled out any scenarios but confirm no immediate evidence of foul play.
Location Context
The discovery site near Choisy-le-Roi isn't known for criminal activity or suicides. Authorities found an abandoned homeless encampment nearby containing mattresses, sleeping bags, and personal items, though no occupants were present during the search.
