Melun Boxer Death: Cerebral Hemorrhage Cause Revealed

We know the causes of the accidental death of Agathe, the young boxer who died on December 4 during a boxing session at the municipal stadium of Melun (Seine-et-Marne). The 24-year-old young woman was the victim of head trauma with subdural hematoma, in other words a cerebral hemorrhage, as Melun prosecutor Jean-Michel Bourlès told Le Parisien.

“The consequence of the death is indeed the blow suffered during this boxing session,” continues the magistrate. An autopsy was carried out on Wednesday on the body of the sportswoman living in Héricy.

The investigation, entrusted to the national police district of Melun — Val-de-Seine, continues into intentional violence leading to death without intention of giving it away.

Know “if these shots were inappropriate”

“We are going to take everything over and hear everyone again, including the technicians who will have to determine whether these blows were inappropriate,” specifies Mr. Bourlès. We remain in a sporting setting with a young woman who is returning to training. »

Agathe had lost consciousness when the firefighters intervened, very quickly, then transported to the South Île-de-France hospital group (GHSIF) north of Melun, where she did not survive her injuries. Thursday, the boxing gym at the Jacques-Marinelli sports complex, rue Doré, was still closed, as specified in the club’s note posted on the door.
