A couple who were making love at a French fortress died after they
fell into the moat. Police said Thursday they found a man in a dried out part of the
moat and his partner in a shallow patch of water at the Vauban fort in the
Chausey archipelago, off France's north-western coast.
A local police officer could not explain how the couple died,
only saying that "the couple was found naked, with their belongings
above”. The drop into the moat is 40ft.
A police source told the Le Figaro newspaper that the death was
accidental and probably happened because the couple were "making love and
something went wrong".
"Both individuals were born in 1984," said a police
spokesman.
The man is a resident of Granville, in the Manche department in
north-western France. The woman was described as from Normandy and she is
believed to have come to visit him.
The fort, situated on a remote outcrop, was built in 1866 by
Napoleon III as defence against English warships.
