Two bodies were found in Lausanne on Saturday - both in and around the Bel-Air building complex in the city center. A man lay lifeless outside on the roadway, later the body of a woman was discovered in the apartment from which police say the first victim had fallen.

Shortly after 6 a.m., police received a report that a body was lying in the street, police said on Saturday evening. Despite resuscitation attempts, the death of the man, who had fallen from a height of around 35 meters, had to be determined.

The police then went to the dead man's house near the crash site and found the lifeless body of his wife in an apartment there. The couple's children were taken into care.

The municipal and cantonal police were mobilized for the operation, as well as medical and emergency psychological personnel. The investigation was still ongoing late on Saturday evening.
