Autopsy Finds No Fatal Trauma in Death of French Streamer Jean Pormanove; Toxicology Pending

Toxicology is pending, with regulators scrutinizing Kick's handling of abusive streams.

Overview

  • Prosecutors in Nice said the initial autopsy found no internal or external lesions compatible with a fatal assault and pointed to probable medical or toxicological causes.
  • Raphaël Graven, known as Jean Pormanove, was found inanimate during a marathon livestream in Contes after roughly 289–298 hours on Kick, with footage later removed.
  • Investigators seized digital material and continue a judicial probe opened earlier into alleged organized mistreatment tied to monetized humiliation streams.
  • Two co-streamers linked to prior broadcasts, known as Naruto and Safine, were detained in January and released pending investigation; they remain subjects of the broader inquiry.
  • Kick said it expelled accounts involved in the event and is cooperating, as France’s digital minister referred the case to Pharos and Arcom over platform responsibility.
