The 46-year-old French content creator, whose real name was Raphaël Graven, passed away in his sleep while streaming in a rented room near Nice. Known online as “JP,” he had built a following of hundreds of thousands on TikTok and Twitch through gaming and daring online challenges.
Some of his videos showed troubling “torture” challenges involving sleep deprivation, humiliation, and even harmful acts. Days before his death, he reportedly messaged his mother saying he was “fed up” with streaming. His last activity online was recorded on August 18.
Tributes quickly poured in from fans and fellow creators. One emotional message read: “Jean was a genuine person, generous, and always ready to listen. His smile could light up a room.” Others described him as a man who gave his time selflessly and made people feel less alone.
Authorities confirmed his death and are still investigating the circumstances.
His passing is a heartbreaking reminder of the dark side of online fame—and the importance of kindness, both on and offline.
