The death of a French streamer during a 298-hour broadcast has sparked controversy and a judicial investigation

A French video streamer who died during a livestream after days of abuse by other streamers did not die as a result of trauma or the intervention of a third party, court authorities said.

Raphaël Graven died Monday during a livestream on Kick. For months, he endured humiliation and physical abuse. The site, known for its relatively lax moderation, was aware of the content on his channel and regularly promoted it.
