Seine-Saint-Denis: actress Angèle Metzger found dead after a fall

Angèle Metzger, 27, was found dead on Saturday morning in Pavillons-sous-Bois, in Seine-Saint-Denis, at the foot of the building housing the municipal social action center (CCAS). According to a police source at Le Figaro, the actress, known for her role in the series “Chair tender” broadcast on France 5, was discovered unresponsive, shortly after 8:00 a.m., by a caregiver who called the emergency services. Despite their rapid intervention, they were unable to resuscitate the young woman.

Personal effects belonging to Angèle Metzger were discovered, without providing, at this stage, any evidence to determine whether the fall was accidental or voluntary.

She apparently fell from a staircase or platform overlooking an underground car park. This space is not accessible to the public and the building does not contain any private accommodation. The circumstances in which the young woman found herself there remain to be clarified. Video surveillance images from the building are being used to establish the time and sequence of events. According to Le Parisien, images show Angèle Metzger crossing a barrier to access the building, then joining this space closed to the public. The investigation was entrusted to the Livry-Gargan police station.

The “Tender Flesh” series was distinguished at Séries Mania in 2022 with the prize for best series in the French competition. Angèle Metzger, for her part, won the Revelation Actress prize in November of the same year, awarded jointly by Séries Mania and the professional magazine Le Film français. Two distinct awards, saluting the fiction and its main performer.
