French Actress Emmanuelle Debever Dies Amidst Controversy

TL;DR
French actor Emmanuelle Debever, who accused Gerard Depardieu of sexual assault and harassment, has died at the age of 60 in an apparent suicide. The Paris prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into her death after her partner reported her missing and she left a "worrying note" behind. Reports suggest that Debever jumped from a bridge into the Seine River in Paris. Her death occurred on the same day that a French investigative news series aired an episode about the allegations against Depardieu, but Debever was not connected to the documentary. Depardieu has previously been charged with rape and sexual assault.
