MMA prospect Pierre Ludet was found dead in his apartment in Marseille on Sunday evening. Ludet held a 6-1 MMA record and was a member of the French national police force, serving in a specialized unit known as the brigade spécialisée de terrain (BST). He was 22-years-old.
L’Ardennais reports that authorities believe Ludet died from suicide due to a single gunshot, fired from his service weapon.
That outlet described Ludet as a “young champion appreciated by all for his values, his empathy and his talent as a sportsman.”
L’Ardennais also reports that Ludet is the ninth member of the national police service to die from suicide since January 1.
