France’s far-right paid tribute to a writer and activist who shot himself dead in front of the altar of Paris’s famed Notre Dame Cathedral on Tuesday after denouncing gay marriage and immigration.

Police confirmed the man’s identity as Dominique Venner, 78, an essayist and activist linked with France’s far-right and nationalist group.

He shot himself with a pistol shortly after 4:00 pm (1400 GMT) and the cathedral, which at the time contained about 1,500 people, was then evacuated without incident, they said.

Venner left a message, which was read out by a friend after his death on the conservative station Radio Courtoisie, and a final essay on his website.
