Death

Pierre Bérégovoy died on May 1, 1993, in Paris after being transported by helicopter from Nevers (Nièvre), where he had been found an hour sooner, in a coma with a bullet in the head. Police investigators ruled his death as a suicide, confirming his bodyguard's deposition, who claimed the former prime minister was with him when he grabbed the guard's gun. Most of Pierre Bérégovoy's close friends have admitted that he had been depressed ever since he lost the March legislative elections, but his spouse did express some doubt, mainly because he had not left a suicide note.
