Investigation launched after woman found dead in hospital boiler room

An investigation is ongoing following the macabre discovery of a woman's body in a boiler room at the Kremlin-Bicêtre hospital. The victim, whose age and identity remain unknown, was found seated on a barrier, her body leaning into the void. Police reports indicate she had burns on the extremities of all four limbs.

Several media outlets have reported on the incident, with some mentioning the presence of bloodstains and a bloodied broom in the overheated room, where temperatures reportedly exceeded 60 degrees Celsius. Le Parisien suggests the victim, estimated to be between 20 and 30 years old, may have died from her burns and the extreme heat.

The circumstances of her presence in the boiler room are unclear, as she was reportedly neither a hospital employee nor a patient. It is established that maintenance work was carried out in the room shortly before the discovery. Authorities are considering the possibility that the victim may have entered the room after it was left unsecured by workers, becoming trapped inside. The Créteil prosecutor's office has stated that third-party involvement has been ruled out.
