Overview
- A friend discovered Saubadu’s body at his Mérignac home, and police responded to the scene.
- The investigation into his death has been assigned to the Groupe d’appui judiciaire (GAJ) of the Bordeaux Centre division.
- Saubadu was a central witness in Netflix’s De rock star à tueur: le cas Cantat, where he spoke publicly about pressures he said Krisztina Rády faced before her 2010 suicide.
- Following the documentary, the Bordeaux prosecutor reopened a preliminary probe in July 2025 for alleged spousal violence against Bertrand Cantat based on previously unexamined testimonies.
- Authorities have not publicly stated a cause of death, and Saubadu’s earlier materials and testimony had already been part of police files, with Cantat losing a 2016 defamation case against him.
