Woman found dead in inner courtyard of Paris apartment building
A woman was found dead on Wednesday morning in the inner courtyard of a residential building in Paris’s 18th arrondissement, police sources said on Thursday.
Authorities were alerted after the body was discovered inside the building’s enclosed courtyard. According to initial information, the circumstances surrounding the woman’s death remain unclear, and investigators have not yet determined whether foul play was involved.
Police revealed that during the night, emergency services had received a call reporting a woman screaming inside the same building at around 2 a.m. Officers were dispatched to the scene but were unable to locate the source of the disturbance at that time.
Investigators later questioned a resident living on the fifth floor, who told police she had met a man and a woman the previous day and had invited them to her apartment. She reportedly described having consumed alcohol and drugs during the night, though her account was said to be confused.
The body was discovered in the courtyard shortly after the man reportedly left the apartment in the morning. The investigation has been handed over to the local police station of the 18th arrondissement, as authorities work to establish the exact circumstances and timeline of events.
