The lifeless body of the famous organist Johan Van Vliet is found at the foot of Judgment portal of Notre-Dame. His ears were pierced and his face set towards the statue of the angel who plays the trumpet to sound the alarm of the dead.

In making the victim symbolically deaf to the call of the angel, the killer seems to have wanted to prevent the victim of divine mercy ... It is the first indication of an overwhelming case of revenge.
