There was no immediate indication of how long the victim might have been dead, and the source close to the enquiry said a post-mortem examination would be carried out.Paris criminal police have launched a homicide investigation.
Still closed today as the search continued, the hilly Buttes-Chaumont park is a popular spot for families and joggers. It was built during the major re-landscaping of the French capital under Napoleon III in the 19th century and most recently starred as the setting for a romantic picnic in the third series of Netflix programme Emily in Paris.
