Two days after the death of Igor Bogdanoff, and eight after that of his brother Grichka, details concerning their funeral were confirmed by their relatives. At BFMTV, the family of the twins announced that they will be January 10 at 3 p.m., at the Madeleine church, in Paris. Guest of Bruce Toussaint this Wednesday at the end of the morning, Amélie de Bourbon-Parme, who was the wife of Igor Bogdanoff between 2009 and 2018, returned to the disappearance of the two science-loving animators, at the age of 72 years .
“It’s unreal and it’s extremely brutal, since they got sick around December 15th, a little bit before. They arrived at the hospital and then we couldn’t believe it, beings like that, so unique, so timeless, we say to ourselves that nothing can happen to them. And then unfortunately, things quickly deteriorated, said the writer and historian. Igor survived his brother for a few days, which seemed unthinkable to us, since they were so closely linked we couldn’t imagine one without the other. And at the same time, we wanted to believe it (…). And then no, it’s fate. They couldn’t be apart for too long. “
Amélie de Bourbon-Parme confirms that her ex-husband did not know that her twin had died (December 28) since he was already in an artificial coma, after having also contracted Covid-19. He did know, however, that Igor was going to be intubated. “They called each other, they gave each other news, they were a few rooms apart. It was both tragic and so moving. “
