The singer was transported to Bordeaux hospital on the night of Sunday April 21 to Monday April 22, after being found by emergency services sitting on a chair near his caravan, in Biscarosse, with a wound in his chest.
A media surge and questions about the circumstances of the tragedy which led the public prosecutor of Mont-de-Marsan, Olivier Janson, to speak on April 25, based on the ballistic expertise and the stories of the singer and of his partner, Soraya Miranda.
Kendji Girac’s partner refuted any blackmail for the singer’s suicide
The magistrate had notably revealed that the singer was indeed the author of the shooting and had mentioned – still on the basis of the hearing of the winner of The Voice by the investigators from his hospital room – the suicide blackmail that he allegedly made his wife suffer, as well as his addiction to alcohol and his cocaine use.
She has since refuted the prosecutor’s comments last Sunday. “Kendji never blackmailed me into committing suicide, let me be clear. It never existed. I never suffered the slightest violence whatsoever from him. I am categorical,” said said Soraya Miranda in the daily Le Parisien.
The singer’s entourage also said they “regret” that elements of his private life were disclosed during this press conference. An opinion shared on Sunday by Soraya Miranda: “I was very surprised that so many details of our story were revealed without us wanting it. For me, it was not necessary.”
