Autopsies reveal details of Haute-Saône family killings
Autopsies in the Haute-Saône family massacre revealed that the two children, aged 6 and 10, each died from a single gunshot wound to the back, fired at close range, while the 74-year-old grandmother died from a major hemorrhage caused by three violent stab wounds. The grandmother also showed bruises and signs of manual strangulation, which may have contributed to her death. The 42-year-old father, the presumed perpetrator, died from a single gunshot to the chin, fired at point-blank range, likely self-inflicted with a 12-millimeter hunting rifle. The father, who was in the process of separating from his wife, allegedly filmed the killings and sent the video to her. He had no prior convictions for violent offenses, and investigations into digital evidence are ongoing.
