How dreadful. There was good reason for people to stay indoors!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Let's not jump to conclusions. The curfew was lifted last night, according to some reports  .

Looks like it was a medium-sized slide at the entrance to the resort.
Rare to see pedestrians caught up in those.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Reporting in the UK seems to be poorly translated with references to the poor man as "lying by the side of the road" when the ava took him. So, so sad. Reminds me to be thankful to the authorities when they order "stay indoors" as they did in Tignes on Thursday. Easy to be complacent in resort about these sorts of risks.

I read on a French site that he was standing by the road, when a load of snow slid and fell from the roof behind him, burying him. The implication was that he was there for a while, before being discovered. Very sad...

I believe this happened on Thursday morning before the curfew was imposed.

That doesn't fit with the description of him being carried 15m nor of it being an avalanche that caused it. Nonetheless, that doesn't mean you're wrong; the press aren't hugely reliable at reporting these sorts of things.
That said, if it was a sizeable enough avalanche to make it into resort I'm surprised there is no footage of it cropping up.

There was a report in the EOSB thread of a fatal slide on Thursday morning near the Kohinor, which is in Plein Sud at the top of the resort.
Someone could be carried downhill from that point.

Nope I think there was a slide at the Koh I Noor as it's literally set in cliffs but no way it could run from there to the UCPA.
Dreadful and definitely happened pre lock down so no blame on the young man.
There was also a slide across the Stade Slalom in Menuires just above Croisette around the same time. Big probe party and at least 2 dogs to check no one had been caught. Hard to understate how 1m of snow then rapidly warming sun affected things. No one was bitching when all the lifts shut down there.
