Tragic Death of French Streamer: Investigation Continues Amid Medical Concerns
An autopsy reveals streamer Raphaël Graven’s death was not from trauma, raising more questions.
An autopsy into the death of French streamer Raphaël Graven, known by his online moniker Jean Pormanove, has indicated that trauma was not a factor in his passing, according to statements from the prosecutor in charge of the investigation. Graven, a popular content creator on the streaming platform Kick, was found dead in his residence located in Contes, north of Nice, earlier this week.
The situation has drawn significant public concern, prompting French government minister Clara Chappaz to label the incident as an "absolute horror," leading to the initiation of a judicial investigation into the matter. Prosecutor Damien Martinelli announced that medical examiners concluded Graven's death did not result from traumatic causes or involve any third-party intervention.
The forensic findings showed no signs of internal or external injuries apart from minor bruising and older lesions. Prosecutor Martinelli suggested that the potential causes of death could be related to medical issues or toxic substances, hinting that Graven may have suffered from a heart condition alongside previously diagnosed thyroid problems.
In light of recent reports, local news outlets revealed that the 46-year-old streamer had experienced episodes of violence and severe sleep deprivation during his live streams, with suggestions that he may have died while broadcasting live. Martinelli mentioned that interviews were conducted with witnesses present during the incident and that police had seized video equipment and recordings to assist in clarifying the events leading up to Graven’s death.
