Principal found dead in his college in Calvados: the theory is now no longer murder
December 8, 2023
Could it in the end be a heart ailment? On August 11th, Stéphane Vital, principal of a college in Lisieux (Calvados), was found dead in his establishment, after the anti-intrusion alarm had been triggered. Quickly, the prosecutor's office described the death as "suspicious". His wife has always been convinced that her husband had "been assaulted". This Thursday, the prosecutor reveals that "the natural cause for death" is favored by doctors. "There are no elements that suggest blows," says Joël Garrigue. As a reminder, two teenagers, aged 17 and 19, had admitted to forcing a door of the college while they were drunk. However, they had explained that they had fled before the principal arrived. The analysis of the videos of their mobile phone had made it possible to confirm that they were no longer on the site at the time of the principal's arrival, so they had therefore been exonerated of a robbery. This false lead had led the investigators to that of a medical problem. Especially since the autopsy had revealed that the 48-year-old man suffered from a cardiovascular pathology. The prosecutor adds that other checks will be carried out to "close all leads".
