Angèle Metzger

Angèle Metzger was a French actress who died on 7 November 2026 at the age of 27, after a fall in Les Pavillons sous Bois, a town in the Seine Saint Denis department outside Paris. French authorities have opened an investigation into the circumstances of her death, and as of this writing no further detail about how the fall happened has been made public.

Metzger was best known to audiences for playing Sasha, a central character in the French television mini series Chair tendre, which has also circulated internationally under the title About Sasha. She emerged as a recognisable face in French television through that role in 2022, and the part remained the work for which she was most widely recognised at the time of her death.

Little has been published so far about Metzger's early life, including her exact date of birth, her family background, her education or her path into acting. Reputable outlets reporting her death have so far focused on confirming the basic facts of what happened rather than on a fuller biography, and this page will be updated as more verified information becomes available. Readers searching for connections to other public figures, including the musician Lukas Ionesco or the band Fontaines D.C., should treat any such claims with caution until they are confirmed by reliable sources, because nothing of that kind has yet been verified.

News of Metzger's death spread quickly through French entertainment media and aggregator sites once it was confirmed that she had been found dead on the Saturday morning. Coverage has centred on her youth, her emergence through Chair tendre, and the fact that an inquiry has been opened, which is standard practice in France when a death occurs in unclear or sudden circumstances. No cause of death beyond the reported fall has been officially confirmed, and no family statement, funeral details or memorial plans have yet been published.

At 27, Metzger was still early in what had looked like a promising acting career. Her death has been reported internationally as a sudden loss of a young performer who had only recently begun to build a public profile, and tributes are expected to continue to emerge from colleagues and fans as more becomes known.
