Overview

• The Nice prosecutor said experts found no traumatic origin for Raphaël Graven’s death and no link to another person, noting probable medical or toxicological causes and ordering further toxicological and anatomopathological tests.
• Doctors reported no internal or external traumatic lesions or burns and observed only a few bruises and healed marks mainly on the lower limbs, according to the prosecutor’s statement.
• The cause-of-death inquiry continues alongside a judicial investigation opened in December 2024 into alleged violence against vulnerable people, with national police and the cybercrime office now co-seized of the case.
• Kick announced bans for co-streamers involved in the broadcast and pledged full cooperation, as Arcom contacted the platform’s newly designated EU representative in Malta and sought details on French-language moderation.
• Regulators and officials faced criticism for earlier inaction after prior alerts from civil society, celebrities’ appearances on the streams drew scrutiny, and Gabriel Attal proposed youth screen-addiction screenings and visual limits such as switching videos to black-and-white after extended viewing.
