Graven, 46, was one of France’s first ever streamers and had about half a million followers on his various channels.

Over the years, he had become known for engaging in degrading acts on screen, such as strangulation and ingestion of toxic chemicals, sometimes at the request and with the financial support of live viewers.

Graven appeared alongside three other people – his regular streaming partners – throughout the 12-day long broadcast that led up to his death.

Footage shared on social media showed two of these men, known as Naruto and Safine, physically abusing and berating him. France’s digital affairs and artificial intelligence minister Clara Chappaz described the incident as “absolute horror”.
