Overview

• Raphaël Graven, 46, known online as Jean Pormanove, died Monday in Contes near Nice during a Kick broadcast that had run for about 298 hours.
• The Nice prosecutor said the post‑mortem found no internal or external traumatic injuries and no third‑party involvement, and ordered additional medical and toxicological tests.
• Authorities noted Graven had cardiovascular issues and was receiving thyroid treatment, factors they say may be relevant to determining the cause of death.
• A judicial investigation opened in December into alleged deliberate violence and the dissemination of humiliating images has led to interviews and the seizure of extensive video material; two co‑streamers were briefly detained in January and previously claimed scenes were staged for money.
• Kick said it has banned all co‑streamers involved, is cooperating with investigators, and is reviewing its French‑language content, as French officials condemn the abuse and reiterate platforms’ legal duties to remove clearly illegal content.
