    Adieu, mes amis. Je vais la gloire were Isadora Duncan's last words.

    Her children Deirdre and Patrick perished by drowning.

    The driver stalled the car while attempting to avoid a collision. He got out to hand-crank the engine, but he had forgotten to set the parking brake, so once he got the car to start, it went across the Boulevard Bourdon and rolled down the embankment into the river below. The children and the nanny drowned
