Police investigating the death of French streamer Raphaël Graven say they have interviewed a number of people who were present when he died and seized equipment and videos.

Raphaël Graven, also known as Jeanpormanove, was known for videos on the platform Kick in which he endured apparent violence and humiliation.

He was found dead at a residence in a village north of the southern French city of Nice on Monday.

On Tuesday, French government minister Clara Chappaz described Mr Graven's death as an "absolute horror", adding he had been "humiliated" for months.

She confirmed a judicial investigation was under way.
