(CS/vb) The man whose body was discovered by passersby in Rue Plaetis on Thursday morning apparently died while searching for his keys down a sewer hole, according to police.
The body was discovered early on Thursday morning with the feet sticking out of a sewer hole and the head under water. Efforts to resuscitate the 42-year-old man on site failed.
After draining the sewer, investigators found a set of keys, which police said belong to the man's house. “It appears that the keys fell down the drain and the man did not take into consideration the depth of the hole.”
The lid of the sewer hole was lying next to the scene of the apparent accident. Police said that while heavy, the lid could have been lifted by the man himself.
