A 21-year-old man died after an accident at a huge alcohol-drenched party organized on Facebook - one of two such events held simultaneously in two French cities that drew nearly 20,000 people.
The gatherings, which the organizers call "giant cocktail parties," took place in Nantes and Montpellier on Thursday.
The man fell about 6 meters to his death apparently while trying to slide down a staircase railing on a bridge, according to the prosecutor's office in Nantes.
As such events are organized anonymously on Facebook, authorities cannot work with organizers to ensure safety, said Nantes' regional prefect Jean Daubigny.
