An autopsy has verified that French streamer Jean Pormanove did not succumb to trauma after his demise during a 12-day livestream on the platform Kick.

The internet figure, whose real name was Raphaël Graven, was discovered dead in his sleep on Aug. 18 in an apartment he was leasing in Contes, a village near Nice in France. He was 46.

Graven, who was frequently “humiliated and mistreated” by a group of other men live on camera for thousands of viewers, was found with unexplained bruises on his body, according to the New York Times.

According to the Nice prosecutor’s office, the influencer’s cause of death was “not traumatic in origin and was not linked to the intervention of a third party.”

Prosecutor Damien Martinelli said Thursday that forensic doctors had found no “internal or external traumatic injuries” or burns.

“The probable causes of death appear to be medical and/or toxicological,” he added.

Prosecutors indicated that the streamer had a history of cardiac issues and was receiving treatment for his thyroid, as reported by the French newspaper Le Parisien.

Martinelli added that many people who were present at the time of the incident had been questioned by police.

“Equipment and videos have been seized as part of the investigation to clarify the events leading up to the death and any factors that may have contributed to it,” he stated, as per the BBC.

French government minister Clara Chappaz previously said Graven was left “humiliated and mistreated” after having endured “horror” violence by a group of other men live on camera for thousands of viewers.

Past livestream clips reshared online showed the other men hitting, strangling and shooting Graven with a paintball gun.

She referred the situation to the French media regulator Arcom and Pharos, another French system used to report online content.

“Justice will carry out its work to advance this investigation and to clarify the tragic circumstances of Jean Pormanove’s death,” she said.

Graven had amassed more than 500,000 followers across his social media platforms, having earned a loyal following with his gaming videos, which often included challenges.

His death was confirmed by Owen Cenazandotti, a fellow streamer, in a post on Instagram.

“I ask you all to respect his memory and not share the video of his last breath in his sleep. My brother, my sidekick, my partner, six years side by side, without ever letting go, I love you, my brother, and we will miss you terribly,” Cenazandotti wrote in a translated post to his Instagram story on Aug. 19.

Graven’s final moments were apparently captured during a since-deleted 10-day marathon livestream on Kick, Le Parisien reported.

In the livestream, Graven was seen lying on a mattress almost completely covered by the duvet. As other streamers started to wake up around him, they noticed he was “in a really weird position” and tried to get his attention before abruptly cutting the livestream.
