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.

Aliens?
A “poorly extinguished cigarette” could most certainly be intentional.
How many of the people allowed up on that scaffold were Muslims?
And no evidence to not impeach Trump - similar ‘logic’?
Golly. I never suspected that they would come to this conclusion.
They would say this even if they had video of a culture enricher torching it. The PC is disturbing.
Yes, twisted logic.
This evening my dogs started barking wildly and I saw strange flashes of green and red light. I went out, looked up, and, LO, I saw a whole herds of glowing and flashing pigs flying over my house. Anyone here who believes this “explanation” will also believe in my vision of flying pigs.
Investigators have still not been able to find the cause of the blaze.

Then they have no evidence it was not intentional.
What is the evidence?
Absent any reasonable explanation of how the fire could have started by accident (and there is none), the only explanation is that it must have been arson, even lacking direct evidence of such.
Yeah the officials determined that in 30 minutes as I recall...
Imagine that, not finding what you’re not looking for. Of course it was a muslim job, but to admit that, would be to set all of France ablaze
Given that there are on average two criminal reports of church vandalism/property damage per day in France, just the house odds say it was an act of arson.
One they’d never admit it if it was deliberate
Two cause still not known so how can they say??
Even I caught that sarcasm
Sure it was. And all those Germans stomping down the Champs Elysee 79 years ago, they were just tourists.
Socialist government investigators with agenda. I don’t think that I would trust anything that they say.
