British-born actress and singer Jane Birkin, who found fame in France, dies age 76
July 16, 2023
Jane Birkin, the British singer and actress who found fame in France, has died aged 76, CNN affiliate BFMTV reported Sunday, citing its source. Birkin’s rise to fame began shortly after her arrival in Paris, when she fell in love with French actor and singer Serge Gainsbourg. The two quickly became the subject of widespread public fascination, with Gainsbourg nearly 20 years older than Birkin. The couple often collaborated professionally, memorably performing together on “Je t’aime… moi non plus,” a sultry duet whose explicit lyrics saw the song banned in several countries. Birkin’s cause of death is not yet known, but she had been in poor health in recent years and suffered a stroke in 2021.
Birkin was jabbed 3 times:
"I am lucky to have parents who never complained. They had known the war, the real one. This is not war," Birkin said at first. "We wear a mask, so what? I am triple vaccinated, there are countries that are not so lucky," she continued before adding: "I really pity the people who have lost loved ones, the caregivers who are at the front. But I am sure it will get better soon," she concluded, very optimistic for the future.

Saint-André: suspicious double death at Terrain Fayard an investigation opened and autopsies requested
July 10, 2023
Since last night, Sunday, July 9, the news of the death of two young people from Terrain Fayard [in the French overseas department of Réunion] has been causing a stir within the community. The first took place around 19 p.m. and the second around 22 p.m., during the same Sunday evening. The two men aged only 27 and 30 both succumbed to a cardiac arrest at their respective homes separated by barely a few hundred meters. No trace of violence was detected on the spot by the police services but the forensic pathologist dispatched to the scene still issued a forensic notice. Because there is nothing, at the moment, to explain their death. Autopsies have been requested by the Saint-Denis prosecutor's office. The first was carried out on Monday, July 10, and the second should be scheduled for tomorrow Tuesday, and the conclusions of the coroner are therefore not yet known. "There is nothing at this stage to guide the investigation," says a source close to the file who concedes that the death of these men still in the prime of their life remains particularly troubling. In addition, toxicological analyses must be carried out.
