Footballers Accused in Streamer's Death

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Bradley Barcola face accusations following the death of French streamer Raphaël Grave, known as Jean Pormanove, found dead near Nice.

Grave, popular on Kick, allegedly endured extreme challenges and humiliation before his death. French media report he died after 'ten days of torture'.

Liberation newspaper reported Aubameyang and Barcola allegedly encouraged the streamer's activities shortly before his death. Barcola's representatives denied his involvement that day. Aubameyang has not commented.

The forensic investigation did not indicate injury as the cause of death. Authorities are investigating, and Kick has banned those involved in the show.
