The accidental death of Gaspard Ulliel has sparked a multitude of tributes to a man who led a brilliant career and was very popular in the film world. An investigation was entrusted by the public prosecutor’s office of Albertville (Savoie) to the CRS Alpes to clarify the circumstances of the fatal collision between Gaspard Ulliel and another skier, which occurred on Tuesday January 18 in the resort of La Rosière, in Bourg-Saint- Mauritius.
The 37-year-old actor had experienced a meteoric rise, marked in particular by two Césars, that of the best male hope (in 2005 for A long engagement Sunday) and Best Actor (in 2017 for Just the end of the world). He had notably played alongside Emmanuelle Béart, Audrey Tautou, Mélanie Laurent, Nicole Garcia, Isabelle Huppert, Olivier Gourmet or Gérard Depardieu, and in front of the camera of André Téchiné, Bertrand Bonello or Xavier Dolan.
