French authorities have launched an investigation into the death of a man who may have been killed by a police rubber bullet during protests in Marseille. It comes as France counts the cost of its most intense urban violence in nearly two decades.
Prosecutors in the southern port city of Marseille, which witnessed some of the worst violence over the past week of unrest, said Wednesday that a 27-year-old man riding a scooter had been found dead in the night between Saturday and Sunday.
