A student from the National Center for Circus Arts in Châlons-en-Champagne (Marne), died on Saturday May 4 during an exercise, reports France Bleu Champagne-Ardenne, after the announcement on Sunday by the management of the CNAC (National Center for Circus Arts), on social networks.

The Châlons-en-Champagne public prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation to determine the causes of death. Investigators favor the accidental trail.

This third year student fell on his head on Friday, he “fell while he was preparing his escapes, the end-of-course exercise”, specifies the CNAC. Taken to hospital, he died the next day.
