The mayor of this village located between Besançon and Vesoul, which has fewer than 500 inhabitants, had called the police, worried about not having seen this resident for some time, explained the Vésoul prosecutor Arnaud Grécourt.

An autopsy is to confirm the causes of the two deaths.

The deceased's son, aged around forty, refused to let anyone into the home he had lived in for a long time with his mother, according to testimonies collected by our colleagues. When the police entered the house, they discovered the lifeless body of the mother, in her bed, having been deceased for some time.

A strong odor was emanating from the body, and it was already decomposing. The gas was turned on in the home. The son was found unconscious. He later died. He apparently took his own life, according to L'Est Républicain. An autopsy should determine the causes of death for these two people.
