The body of one of France's most prominent lawyers has been found washed up on a beach near his home in Brittany.
Olivier Metzner's body was discovered in the Gulf of Morbihan, a natural harbour on France's western coast, on Sunday morning. A note was found in his home.
His associate, Antonin Levy, said Mr Metzner's death was a huge loss to the French bar, calling him a "great lawyer and a fighter".
Mr Levy could not confirm French media reports that the note was a suicide letter.
Police confirmed the death but declined to give any details surrounding it.
Mr Metzner,63, was famed in France for defending high-profile figures such as rogue trader Jerome Kerviel and former French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin.
Kerviel was convicted of forgery and breach of trust for circumventing trading limits resulting in losses of 4.9bn euros for one of Europe's largest banks Societe Generale.
In 2010, Mr Villepin was cleared of using fake documents to link former Nicholas Sarkozy to a corruption probe in a bid to sabotage his campaign to become president in 2007.
