As remembered Actu.fr, Bertrand Cantat has always denied that Marie Trintignant’s death was caused by the blows he inflicted. A version of events contradicted by the autopsy. In his work black desireAnne-Sophie Jahn sheds light on this femicide:
«It was the crushing of the actress’s nose which, causing internal injuries, caused the cerebral edema which caused her death. This fatal blow would have been delivered with the palm of the hand with a truncheon effect. Or a blow from top to bottom… Like a punch or a headbutt. The optic nerves were also damaged, due to shaken baby syndrome. »
