Yes, N Perceveau spent years for this research (since 1997)!

The debate is close, Gaston died in 1938 in a "maison de santé" at Geel
in Belgium near Anvers. N Perceveau provides a copy of the official
death certificate . The later was discovered in 2005!

THe biography of Jean Jules-Verne if not accurate for a lot events,
especially about the "Gaston case" ... and his fate (as far as I
remember he said that Gaston died in Luxemburg during the 40').

Unfortunatly the official medical rapports made after the attack and in
the various psychiatric hospitals are not provided. They are,
normally, kept secret in France and furthermore they were probably
destructed further.

Best regards,
