Tris died by suicide.

Significant resources have been deployed to find the body of a 25-year-old man who allegedly jumped from the Saint-Nazaire bridge on Thursday, May 9, 2024.

At 10:45 pm on Thursday, May 9, 2024, the Saint-Nazaire gendarmes were alerted by a motorist about a man who was climbing over the safety parapet of the Saint-Nazaire bridge. A few minutes later, the man reportedly jumped from the structure. His vehicle remained on the bridge.

Significant resources were deployed to find the body. Fifteen firefighters and ten gendarmes from Saint-Nazaire and Saint-Brévin-les-Pins intervened. The Dragon 56 helicopter also flew over the Loire. The search lasted until 1:30 in the morning without result.

This Friday and in the coming days, the Montoir-de-Bretagne gendarmerie helicopter will continue to conduct searches to find the body of this 25-year-old man.

Tris was originally from Saint-Malo but lived in Rouen. He was a close friend of Charlie Haffray and was active in queer, trans, antifascist activism in Rouen.

His birth family were not supportive of his transition and his identity was not respected during his funeral.
