    It was reported on French radio this morning that a man was discovered dead in an apartment in Lyon accompanied by two dead pigeons.

    Obviously this is ripe material for a overwraught french movie, interesting that it's not been reported in the UK and a worrying development. my mother in law who is french and lives nr toulouse told us earlier in the week that local mayors in that region had been told to get plans in place for mass graves. to be fair i think the that might not be the case but the pigoen man was reported - i heard it myself

    I heard that too - apparently he made a pidgeon pie, took it out of the oven and slipped on a bit of grease...seemingly the pie and it's scolding dish went in the air and landed on his head...tragic really

    More than likely carbon monoxide, I find it very unlikely that they all dies at the same time from flu haha.
