CONTES, France (August 18, 2025) — A gruesome 10-day broadcast ends in tragedy in a village near Nice in southeastern France. The death of 46-year-old streamer Raphaël Graven, known as Jean Pormanove or JP, which occurred live during a nearly 230-hour marathon broadcast on the Kick platform. His associates are seen beating and choking him as well as other abuse during the many hours of online streaming. It wasn't until a rest period where JP is sleeping on the floor amongst the group, when he suffers minor convulsions (possibly related to myocardial infarction) and dies.

French streamer's death 'not due to trauma', autopsy finds
Prosecutor Damien Martinelli said on Thursday that medical examiners believed Mr Graven's death "was not traumatic in origin" and "not related to the intervention of a third party".
He said forensic doctors had found no "internal or external traumatic injuries" or burns - only a few bruises and healed lesions.
"The probable causes of death appear to be medical and/or toxicological," he said. He said further tests had been ordered, and Mr Graven may have had a heart issue in addition to receiving treatment for a problem with his thyroid.
Australian regulators warn Kick could face $49M penalty
Kick could be subject to a penalty of up to $49 million under Australian online safety laws following the death of French streamer Jean Pormanove.
Because Kick is based in Australia, French regulators had limited reach. But Australia's eSafety Commissioner has now confirmed it is investigating, and warned of steep fines.
"This is a tragic case where someone has lost their life, and underscores how the creation of more extreme content, in this case involving actual violence, can have devastating, real-world consequences," a spokesperson for the commissioner said.
