A tragic incident occurred in Toulon, where a 38-year-old mother and her young children were found deceased near their residence. According to local authorities, the case is currently being treated as a family tragedy, with no indication at this stage of third-party involvement.

Preliminary findings suggest that the woman may have been experiencing psychological distress in recent weeks, although this information still requires confirmation through ongoing investigations. The public prosecutor’s office stated that the family had not previously been known to social services or judicial authorities for any reported difficulties.

The mother had seven children in total, and was living alone with them. Following the incident, the remaining children have been placed under the care of relevant authorities and are receiving psychological support.

Investigations are ongoing, and autopsies as well as toxicological analyses have been ordered to clarify the exact circumstances of the tragedy.
