Man, 24, sparks evacuation at French hospital after doctors find 8ins-long live WW1 artillery shell in his rectum​


A man sparked an evacuation at a French hospital after doctors discovered an eight-inch-long live World War I artillery shell in his rectum.

The unnamed 24-year-old rushed to the Rangueil Accident and Emergency unit in Toulouse, in the south-west of the country, late on Saturday night.

‘He was in a state of extreme discomfort, having inserted a large object up his rectum,’ said an investigating source.

‘Emergency surgery was carried out, and the object was found to be an artillery shell dating back to the First World War.

‘Worse still, it had not exploded, and so bomb disposal experts had to be called to diffuse the shell, with the fire brigade standing by.’

Staff and patients were evacuated from Rangueil Hospital, and a security perimeter was set up around the accident and emergency unit, before the pointed 1918 shell, which was almost 8 inches long and just over an inch in circumference, was declared safe.

The patient, a French national, was set to be interviewed by police this week, as prosecutors contemplated legal action against him for handling ‘category A munitions’, according to an officer.

There was no initial explanation as to why the shell ended up in the man’s body, but local media speculated that it might have had something to do with his social life.
