A Adé dans les Hautes-Pyrénées, Franck Hourcade est tué par une boule de pétanque
Pendant une partie de pétanques vendredi soir à Adé, Franck Hourcade âgé de 39 ans a été touché mortellement par une boule.
La partie se disputait au stade de rugby dAdé, une commune à proximité de Lourdes (Hautes-Pyrénées) où Franck était entraîneur.
Alors quil sétait approché du cochonnet pour vérifier son point, un de ses partenaires de pétanque lance sa boule de 700 grammes et le touche en pleine tête.
Franck Hourcade est emmené au centre hospitalier de Lourdes, où il décèdera de sa blessure le samedi matin, peu après son admission.
Franck travaillait à laéroport de Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrénées en tant que responsable de la promotion commerciale.
