Footballers Accused in Streamer's Death
Experienced center-forward, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Paris Saint-Germain star, Bradley Barcola, are facing backlash following the death of French streamer RaphaĂ«l GravĂȘn, known as Jean Pormanove, who was found dead near Nice.
GravĂȘn, popular on the Kick platform, allegedly suffered extreme challenges and abuse before his death. French media report that he died after "ten days of torture." Liberation reported that Aubameyang and Barcola appeared in videos allegedly encouraging the streamer's activities.
Barcola's representatives expressed condolences and clarified that he was not participating live. Aubameyang has not commented. Adil Rami was also photographed giving advice, but his lawyer denied his active participation.
The forensic investigation did not indicate injury as the cause of death, examining medical and toxicological causes. The Kick platform has temporarily banned participants and is reviewing its content in France. Clara Sapage described the event as "absolute terror."
