A cloud of grief has descended upon the Bangladeshi expatriate community in France following a fatal road accident involving a FlixBus early this morning. A young man identified as Kawsar was confirmed dead at the scene after the long-distance coach he was traveling in met with a devastating accident on a major French highway. While the local police have taken custody of the remains, a desperate search is now underway to locate his grieving family members back in Bangladesh or abroad.
The incident came to light through the efforts of Ashuk Ahmad Kha, a fellow Bangladeshi resident in France, who shared the tragic news to alert the community. According to reports from the scene, Kawsar’s mobile phone was found at the crash site in an unlocked state. This fortunate technical detail allowed responders and community members to retrieve a clear photograph of the deceased, which is now being circulated across social media platforms and community groups to facilitate identification.
At present, the body of the deceased is being held under strict police supervision at a local hospital morgue pending formal identification by legal next of kin. Local authorities in France have launched a standard investigation into the cause of the FlixBus crash, though preliminary reports suggest the accident occurred during the early hours of the morning when visibility and road conditions are often challenging.
The Bangladeshi community in Paris and surrounding regions has issued an urgent appeal to anyone who might recognize Kawsar from the recovered photograph. Community leaders are urging the public to share the information widely so that his parents or relatives can be informed of the tragedy. Finding the family is a critical step in coordinating with the Bangladesh Embassy for the necessary documentation and the eventual repatriation of his remains to his ancestral home for burial.
As of now, no official statement has been released regarding Kawsar’s permanent address in Bangladesh. It is expected that once the family is reached, the administrative process involving the hospital and the police will be streamlined to ensure a dignified final journey for the deceased. Anyone with information regarding Kawsar’s family or his hometown is requested to contact the local community representatives or the nearest police station in France immediately.
