First fatality in French 'unrest'
A man beaten up during violence in a riot-hit suburb north of Paris died of his injuries on Monday, an Interior Ministry spokesman said.

Jean-Jacques Le Chenadec, who was attacked on Friday evening and had been in a coma since then, was the first person to die during the unrest that began on October 27.

The ministry gave no details but Le Parisien newspaper said the man was 60 and had been attacked by a youth outside his home in the suburb of Stains.

He was trying to put out a trash bin fire.
