Jean-Paul Belmondo died on September 6, 2021 at the age of 88. A drama for the clan of the famous actor, who had already experienced another loss: the death of Patricia. Indeed, in 1993, the actor’s daughter disappeared, victim of the fire in her Parisian apartment.

A union that took place at the chic town hall of the 6th arrondissement of Paris before a reception given at Pre Catalan, in the no less distinguished 16th arrondissement. The actor, on his daughter’s arm to lead her in front of the mayor and then waltzing alongside him during dinner, was a fulfilled man. He then shared this joyful event with his clan, starting with his ex-wife and mother of his daughter, Renée Constant known as Élodie Constantin.

But the real drama, it is in October 1993 that it occurs: the apartment of Patricia, located rue de Rennes in Paris, catches fire and this one finds herself trapped, then perishing in an atrocious way.
