Dismayed to find that her tenant, Jean-Luc Delarosbil, a man in his mid-fifties, is dead because of his carelessness, Pierre Nadeau said they have had to intervene several times with him in the last days, because of ” brakers jumping up and down “.

Anxiety

“It is as if I had seen it coming. I was worried the last time. It looks like it happened what had to happen “, he said.

Son melted

In the last few days, Mr. Nadeau was forced to intervene to wire melted or interruptions of power, as much in the trailer where lived Jean-Luc Delarosbil that in the garage where the wires were plugged in.
