In a shocking turn of events, Raphael Graven, a well-known livestreamer who went by the pseudonym "Jean Pormanove," passed away during a live video broadcast on Monday, August 18, at the age of 46.

Raphael Graven operated a popular channel on Kick, an online video-sharing platform, where he attracted thousands of viewers each evening for his live video broadcasts. With over 600,000 followers on social media, he was a significant figure in the world of livestreaming.

However, the nature of his content has raised concerns. The "Jean Pormanove" channel featured live video broadcasts of Raphael Graven being humiliated and assaulted, with him often serving as a punching bag. In some videos, he was physically struck by his partners, and in others, he was shot at with paintball projectiles without protection.

These abuses made Raphael Graven notorious in the small world of livestreamers. His followers, both on social media and during his live broadcasts, continued to harass him with comments. It's important to note that it appears that Raphael Graven consented to his role in the videos.

The investigation into Raphael Graven's death is currently being conducted by the Public Prosecutor's Office in Nice, France. Two partners known as Narutovie and Safine were involved in inflicting punishments and humiliations on Raphael Graven. The specific name of the person leading the investigation is not mentioned in the available sources.

The fact that Raphael Graven's death occurred during a live broadcast has raised concerns about the safety of livestreamers. The investigation may reveal more details about the circumstances surrounding his death and potentially shed light on the impact of such content on the mental and physical health of creators.

As of now, videos depicting Raphael Graven's punishments and humiliations are still visible on various networks. The online community is urged to exercise caution and respect when engaging with content that may be harmful or distressing to creators.
