Overview
- Police said the 59-year-old was discovered at his home in Mérignac on November 29 in what appears to be a suicide, with checks underway.
- His appearance in a Netflix documentary prompted Bordeaux prosecutors to reopen the investigation into Krisztina Rády’s 2010 death on July 24.
- Saubadu had alleged that Rády endured sustained physical and psychological abuse by Bertrand Cantat and described a pervasive climate of fear.
- He was questioned by Bordeaux police in 2013 after submitting recordings and testimonies, and Cantat later lost a 2016 defamation case against him.
- The renewed probe revisits Rády’s suicide in the couple’s Bordeaux home, while Cantat has a prior 2003 conviction in Lithuania for causing Marie Trintignant’s death.
