Absolute madness! Patients evacuated from a French hospital after a live artillery shell was found in a patient’s rectum A 24-year-old man arrived late at night at the emergency department of Rangueil Hospital in Toulouse, complaining of severe pain. Doctors discovered a World War I–era artillery shell about 20 cm long lodged in his rectum. The munition turned out to be live and unexploded, French media and Daily Mail report. Due to the risk of detonation, staff and patients were urgently evacuated and the area was cordoned off. Bomb disposal experts and firefighters were called in. Specialists deemed the shell safe and removed it during surgery. Prosecutors may open a case for illegal handling of explosives. The man will be questioned by police. The reasons the shell ended up in his body have not been officially disclosed, though local media cautiously hint at “personal circumstances.” This is not the first such incident: unexploded munitions from the world wars are regularly found in France, and in 2022 a hospital was evacuated over a similar case involving an elderly patient.
