One person died during Saturday's protests in Paris, as a result of cardiorespiratory arrest, France 24 reports. French authorities say the death was not related to police actions or clashes during the demonstrations.
Meanwhile, the toll of the protests has also been weighed down by extensive material damage. Around 1,500 shops and businesses were damaged across France, many of which were looted.
Alexandre Bompard, head of the Federation of Trade and Retail, told LCI television that financial damages are expected to reach hundreds of millions of euros. He stressed that it is still too early to determine an exact figure.
During the protests, police arrested more than 1,800 people in Paris, a record number according to the capital's police prefecture. The prosecutor's office said 517 people remain in custody, including 346 adults and 171 minors. Authorities said the figures were preliminary and could change.

Most of the arrests are related to suspicions of theft and possession of stolen goods, collaboration in committing violent acts, and vandalism.
On Saturday, tens of thousands of people marched in eastern and northern Paris, chanting anti-police slogans and demanding the resignation of French President Emmanuel Macron.
Paris Mayor Emmanuel Grégoire said the vast majority of demonstrators wanted to protest peacefully, but condemned the acts of vandalism, which he said undermined the purpose of the protest.
Before the authorized march began at Place de la République, police used tear gas and intervened to disperse the crowds.

In response to the situation, French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has announced an urgent inter-ministerial meeting at 7:00 PM, where the consequences for the economy and trade, insurance issues and legal procedures following the acts of vandalism and looting will be discussed.
The prime minister's office also announced that Lecornu will meet with the mayors of Paris, Marseille and Lyon, on a date that has not yet been determined.
