French Actress Emmanuelle Debever Dies Amid Depardieu Assault Allegations

Debever's death coincides with airing of documentary detailing sexual misconduct allegations against Depardieu

French actress Emmanuelle Debever, who accused Gérard Depardieu of sexual assault, has died in an apparent suicide by jumping into the Seine River in Paris.
Debever's death occurred on the same day a documentary aired on France 2 detailing sexual misconduct allegations against Depardieu, including Debever's own account.
Debever had accused Depardieu of groping her during the filming of the 1982 film 'Danton'.
Depardieu, who has been under investigation since December 2020 for rape and sexual assault, has denied all allegations.
The Paris prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into Debever's death.
