18h33 – Death of a French woman mocked by relief: opening of a judicial inquiry

French justice will open a judicial investigation for "non-badistance to person in danger" after the death of a young woman in the east of the country, mocked by the emergency relief while she sought help from them. Strasbourg prosecutor Yolande Renzi announced on Wednesday that this judicial information for "non-badistance to person in danger" was aimed at "the operator of the emergency call center and all others "and was also open for" manslaughter against X ". The death of Naomi Musenga, a 22-year-old Strasburger who died on December 29, whose distress call had been treated with contempt by a regulator of the Samu (urgent medical aid service), has aroused strong indignation in France. A sound document, recounting the exchanges between the young woman and the operator, had been widely broadcast in the media and on social networks. An online petition launched by his family to demand the opening of a criminal investigation had collected Wednesday more than 307,000 signatures. According to the medical evidence obtained by the investigators, Naomi Musenga suffered "from a paracetamol intoxication absorbed by self-medication over several days". "The evolutionary destruction of the cells of her liver has resulted in the failure of all her organs leading quickly to her death," according to the prosecutor. (Belga)
