From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eugène Edmond Brassart, more commonly known as Edmond Brassart or Edmond Brassard, was an Olympic fencer who competed for the French team in the 1900 Summer Olympics.[1][2]. Bassart placed 6th in the Olympic Men's Master Fencing division[3][4].

Brassart was born March 5th, 1870 in Paris, France[5]. He died as the result of a bridge collapse. The brige, known as the Passerelle des Invalides, was a wooden bridge constructed as a temporary footpath during the 1900 Exhibition[6]. Brassart was one of four deaths among an estimated 30-50 casualties upon the bridge's collapse[7]
