French Actress Accusing Gerard Depardieu of Sexual Misconduct Dies in Tragic Incident

The Paris prosecutor's office has launched an investigation into the death of French actress Emmanuelle Debever, who had accused actor Gérard Depardieu of sexual misconduct. Debever's partner reported that she left their home after leaving a troubling note and later jumped from a Paris bridge into the Seine river. Depardieu, who has consistently denied any criminal conduct, is currently under investigation for rape and sexual assault. An investigative documentary aired on national TV about the accusations against Depardieu, and French news website Mediapart has reported that he has been accused by a total of 16 women.
