The Prefecture of Police are investigating reports of a man who either jumped or fell from Pont de la Tournelle in the early morning hours of November 1st.
Reports were received from a group celebrating L'halloween at a party on one of the barges docked along the River Seine. Witnesses stated that they observed a man plummeting from the bridge shortly before a flash of green light appeared in the night. They also report a cracking sound as if someone was setting off firecrackers.
Divers searched the river in the area the man would have entered the water and surrounding area but nothing was found. The Prefect suspects that if there was a jumper, he may have been taken down river with the current or it may have been youth bungee jumping from the bridge.
