ended his life on August 9, 2011. A tragedy which marked those around him. “We mostly rubbed shoulders during my childhood, then I was at boarding school”, confided J. during his trial. Despite the distance, the latter has always shown great support for his half-brother who was the victim of violent attacks following his appearances on television, reports Actu.fr. “I told him to live his life the way he wants.”
