Investigators have still not been able to find the cause of the blaze
An initial investigation into the devastating fire that consumed much of Notre-Dame cathedral in April has found no signs of criminal action behind the blaze, French officials said Wednesday.
Chief Prosecutor of Paris Remy Heitz said in a statement that the investigations so far have not been able to pinpoint a cause of the fire but have found no evidence that it was deliberate, the BBC reported. “Deeper investigations” will be carried out, he said.
Officials conducted 100 witness hearings in the initial stage of their investigation, according to CNN. They will now consider the possibility of negligence – including electrical malfunction or a poorly extinguished cigarette – as a cause for the fire.
Shortly before 7 p.m. on April 15, a fire broke out in the iconic Gothic cathedral in Paris. The roof and the spire, which dated to the 19th century, were destroyed. Shortly after midnight April 16, firefighters announced that the cathedral’s main structure had been preserved from collapse.
Major religious and artistic treasures of the cathedral were removed as the fire began, including a relic of the crown of thorns.
Originally built between the twelfth through fourteenth centuries, the landmark cathedral in the French capital is one of the most recognizable churches in the world, receiving more than 12 million visitors each year.

You I believe.
Them? Not so much.
I still want to know why an alarm went off, a search found nothing, and the firefighters left.
How exhaustive was the search that they no one traced the alarm to the location of the fire or smoldering wood or trash?
Did they rush through the search? Did they take the alarm seriously? Who gave the 'all clear' and told them to leave?
If they dont know what caused the fire, the correct statement is, we have not ruled out arson yet.
and if they made that correct statement, you wouldn’t find out through the agenda-driven BBC reporting which is the source of this article
Of course it was intentional.
A fire on the roof and a fire in the main church below happening at approximately the same time.
Find the evidence, please.
And they think we buy that line of crap.Lmao
Why should we believe anything from France, the Euro Trash and the Catholic church with its current pope?
CRIPES ! There are VIDEOS, FROM THE CAMS, THAT SHOW THE MUZZIES WALKING AROUND DOING IT WTH ????????????
It was a Catholic Church that got burned down. Pray for them.
If they don’t know the cause how can they claim it wasn’t intentional? I smell cover up.
The more they ‘officials’ say it was an accident and not done on purpose, the less I believe them. They are so steeped in leftism, it is just the massive underage rapes in England. All of the police just ignored the muslims doing it out of fear of being called a racist.
JoMa
I understand that circuit breakers are illegal in France. So yes, a "short-circuit" could certainly be the cause.
Predictable. I also laughed at the absurdity of their statements. Do these people really think anyone is buying what they’re selling these days?
If the media could have gotten ahead of the story, they would have whitewashed 9/11 as well.
Before that, news reports said muzzies didn’t do it.
What are the odds of burning cigarettes being accidentally dropped at two different locations on the same day?
