The funeral of French actor Gaspard Ulliel, who died at the age of 37 after a skiing accident, is to take place on Thursday in Paris, his agent, Laurent Grégoire, told AFP on Saturday.

The ceremony will be held in the Saint-Eustache church, added the agent, who did not give any further details.

A multitude of tributes were paid to the actor who had a brilliant career and was very popular in the cinema industry.

An investigation has been launched to clarify the circumstances of the fatal collision between Gaspard Ulliel and another skier, which occurred on Tuesday in the La Rosière resort, in Bourg-Saint-Maurice, in the French Alps.
