A shocking incident in France has claimed the life of popular social media influencer and former soldier Raphael Graven, who died during a brutal live stream on Kick that lasted for 10 days.

 

According to media reports, investigators are probing the horrifying circumstances of his death, which took place at his residence in the town of Conte. Reports revealed that during the live stream, Graven was subjected to physical abuse, deprived of sleep, and forced to endure extreme pain.

 

Graven was known online as Jean Pormano or JP, had over one million followers, and was widely recognised for taking part in dangerous and extreme challenges. His live sessions often involved humiliation and abuse, making him notorious on the internet for pushing boundaries to entertain his audience.

 

In this fatal session, Graven was coerced into performing difficult and life-threatening challenges for more than a week. According to reports, his broadcast on the platform Kick suddenly stopped when viewers noticed he was no longer moving.

 

Footage from the stream showed Graven lying motionless on a mattress. At one point, someone threw a water bottle at him, but he did not respond. It is alleged that two other influencers were behind the abuse, repeatedly assaulting him during the live stream.

 

Authorities stated that Graven endured 10 days of continuous torture, including severe beatings and sleep deprivation.

 

French officials have launched an investigation into the case. Clara Chappaz, the minister for digital affairs, called the incident “horrific,” while Children’s Commissioner Sarah El Haïry described it as “heartbreaking” and urged online platforms to take strict action against violent content to protect vulnerable audiences, especially children.
