#France # [Internationally renowned photographer fell on the streets of Paris for 9 hours without help and died] French BFM television, French information station reported that the internationally renowned photographer René Robert fell on the road for 9 hours after falling in the downtown area of Paris, and was found by a tramp in the early morning of the next day to report to the police, but it was too late.
Robert, who specializes in the expressive faces of dancers and musicians in Flamenco performances, has been in the industry for more than 50 years and is well-known in the industry. He became known to the public in 1993 with a 250-photograph photographic collection Flamencos, La rage ou la Grace. Alhambra Music, a professional website that reports on flamingo-related information, said: "Robert's talent and quality are admirable. He is kind and low-key, loyal and sincere, and the time spent with him is always full of joy and humor. ”
At 9:30 p.m. on Jan. 17, Robert, 84, after dinner, went for a walk on Turbigo Road in the République neighborhood near his residence and fell for unknown reasons. Turbigo Road is located in the middle of the city, there are many shops, people are buzzing, but no one is helping him. At about 6 a.m. the next morning, after a homeless man called the police, Robert was taken to the hospital with a very low body temperature and eventually died. Robert's friend and journalist Michel Mompontet denounced: "He fell to the ground alone, in one of the busiest neighborhoods in Paris, for 5 or 6 hours he was conscious, but no one cared about him... He shouldn't have died. What about human nature in the heart of Paris, the City of Light? What about humanity? How did it come to this! ”
One homeless person who often showed up nearby was shocked but said he was "not surprised": "You get beaten, dragged, left unattended." There is no such thing as helping each other. ”
Montpentai hopes that this tragedy can change some things: "When you see a person who is lifeless, a person lying down, you can choose to stop and see if he is breathing, and those few seconds can save a life".
Montpentai hopes to find the homeless man who called the police and express his gratitude to the man who "only knows how to protect humanity".
