Police investigating death of French streamer seize equipment and videos

Raphaël Graven - also known as Jeanpormanove - was known for his extreme videos on the platform, Kick.

The statement continued: "Equipment and videos have been seized as part of the investigation in order to clarify the events that occurred prior to the death and which may have contributed to it." Parallel to the investigation into Mr Graven's death is another ongoing probe by police in Nice which started 8 months ago into an alleged "deliberate violent act" against "vulnerable people" that have ended up as videos on the internet. As part of this investigation, Raphael Graven and another streamer, known as Coudoux - who appeared to be both victims of the violence and humiliation - were spoken to by the police earlier this year.
