French Actress Accusing Gerard Depardieu of Sexual Assault Dies in Apparent Suicide

French actress Emmanuelle Debever, who had accused actor Gerard Depardieu of sexual misconduct, died in an apparent suicide by jumping from a Paris bridge into the River Seine. Her death occurred on the same day that a documentary about sexual abuse claims against Depardieu aired on French TV. French authorities have opened an investigation into the cause of Debever's death. Depardieu has been under investigation since December 2020 for allegations of sexual misconduct and rape, which he denies.
