Here's the translation:
After the tragedy
Jean Woeffray, the victim's dad, wants to try everything to bring her body back in Swiss. He started asking for donations, but is facing major administrative obstacles.
"At the moments I knew of her death, I decided to go for the search." Jean Woeffray, the victim's dad, is more insisting than ever on retrieving her body, which has been lying for a week in the deep water of the Red Sea, off Dahab in Egypt. The 41-years-old victim passed away due to a technical incident on May 14th while training to break the world record of women deep diving.
Technically, the expedition is ready. Jean Woeffray assured the collaboration of a freight company and a company specialized in underwater work. "We will use an underwater robot.", explains Jean Woeffray, a 65-years old locksmith. But the logistics will be very heavy and expensive. In an attempt to cover these expenses, the family and the friends of Brigitte Lenoir rely on the generosity of individuals touched by the tragedy. A bank account has been opened to collect donations.
For Dylan
The main obstacle is administrative. Jean Woeffray is facing the inflexibility of the Egyptian authorities. "They do not want the necessary equipment to enter." he says. He made several contacts with consulates, embassies and customs bodies. "I understand their hesitation, but I want to try everything to get it done, as soon as possible. I owe it to my little son, Dylan (the only son of Brigitte Lenoir, aged 11)."
Jean Woeffray knows better than anyone, that the chances of success at 260m water depth in the Red Sea are uncertain. And each day counts. "But I have no choice. I will do everything possible to bring the body of Brigitte. Later on I don't want Dylan to ask questions."
