**Tragic Death of French Streamer Sparks Outrage and Investigation**
An inquiry has been launched concerning the sudden passing of a French streamer highlighted by extreme challenges, igniting a broader conversation about online safety.
In a sobering incident, Raphaël Graven, a 46-year-old French streamer popularly known as Jeanpormanove, was discovered dead at his home in Contes, located north of Nice. Local reports indicate that he perished during a live broadcast, leading to an urgent investigation by the authorities. Graven had gained notoriety for participating in extreme challenges during his streams, which often included episodes of violence and sleep deprivation.
French government minister Clara Chappaz expressed her dismay, denouncing the circumstances surrounding Graven's death as an "absolute horror." She emphasized that he had been subjected to months of humiliation via his online interactions. The streaming platform Kick, which facilitated Graven's broadcasts, stated they were “urgently reviewing” the events related to his death, extending sympathies to his friends and family.
Chappaz has escalated the matter to Arcom, the French media regulator, and Pharos, an initiative designed to report questionable online content. Sarah El Haïry, the nation's High Commissioner for Children, also weighed in, labeling the incident as “horrifying” and underscoring the critical role of platforms in curbing exposure to violent content, encouraging parental vigilance in monitoring children's online engagements.
The prosecutor's office has confirmed that an investigation into Graven’s cause of death is underway, accompanied by an autopsy, as reported by the AFP news agency. With over one million followers across various social media channels, Graven had cultivated a dedicated community on Kick. His collaborator, Naruto, took to Instagram to lament the loss, urging the public to honor Graven's memory by refraining from sharing graphic imagery of his passing. Fellow streamer Owen Cenazandotti echoed this sentiment in his requests for compassion and remembrance.
