A 46-year-old man, real name Raphael Graven and known online as Jean Pormanove or JP, died during a live-streamed event in Contes near Nice. Nice prosecutors opened an investigation and ordered an autopsy to determine the cause of death. Users reported the video was first screened live on Australian platform Kick and then widely shared. Police in Nice have been probing alleged deliberate violent acts against vulnerable people appearing in internet videos for eight months, following a December Mediapart report revealing such content. Kick said it is urgently reviewing the circumstances and engaging stakeholders, and France's high commissioner for children called for platform responsibility to prevent children's exposure to violent content.
Prosecutors in the south of France have said they are investigating the death of a 46-year-old man who died during a live streaming event showing him being mistreated. The man whose real name is Raphael Graven, but was known online as Jean Pormanove or JP had built a following by putting on live internet shows in which he was abused or humiliated.
Users online said the video of the 46-year-old man was first screened live on an Australian platform called Kick and widely shared afterwards. Police in Nice have for the past eight months been probing alleged deliberate violent act against vulnerable people that have ended up as videos on the internet. That investigation, which began in December, sprang from a report by French outlet Mediapart revealing the existence of such videos, watched by thousands of viewers, especially on the Kick platform.
