Police investigating de@th of streamer who d!ed live online during’10 days of torture’ challenge (Videos)

French police are investigating the death of a popular streamer, who died during a nearly 12-day stream after apparently suffering abusive and humiliating treatment while viewers watched live. Raphal Graven, 46, known online as Jean Pormanove or JP, is one of the biggest streamers in France on the platform Kick and died on Monday. The Nice prosecutors office confirmed to CNN that an investigation has been opened into his death and an autopsy ordered. The 46-year-old military veteran had built a following numbering more than a million across different platforms streaming himself playing video games. He had often appeared in extreme challenges where other streamers assaulted or humiliated him. Since 2023, he had appeared with several other streamers, principally Owen Cenazandotti, known as Naruto online, and Safine Hamadi, both of whom took part in his final livestream. Cenazandotti announced his death Monday on Instagram. In the video livestream that appeared to show his death, after he stopped moving, viewers donated money to send messages alerting the sleeping streamers to Pormanoves condition. In dozens of videos from past livestreams reviewed by CNN, Pormanove appears to be the target of jokes, bullying, physical attacks, and degrading stunts.  Tu vas le tuer, arrte, lche !

At one point, Pormanove appears to be woken up when a bucket of water is thrown over him. In an interview with CNN affiliate BFMTV, Yassin Sadouni, a lawyer for Cenazandotti, said Pormanove suffered from cardiovascular problems. In one video, Pormanove talked of having to take medication. In another, Cenazandotti purports to read out messages Pormanove sent to his mother in which he complains of being held prisoner by his co-streamers.  Extrait insoutenable, Justice pour JEANPORMANOVE Dans ce nouvel extrait, on voit Raphal Graven alias JeanPormanove subir un calvaire inimaginable :Recevoir des chaises sur le corps ;Subir des prises de catch violentes, lui causant des douleurs terribles au dos, pic.twitter.com/GOkEhMMuHk !
