By Geert De Clercq PARIS (Reuters) -French authorities are investigating the death of a man during a live video stream on the Kick live streaming platform, where he had regularly been shown enduring violence and humiliations.

Raphael Graven, known as "Jean Pormanove" or "JP," had built a following by putting on live internet shows in which he was abused or humiliated.

French livestreamer Jean Pormanove died Monday near Nice during a violent live-stream. French authorities have now opened an investigation into the live-streamed death.
