Dutch influencer Martijn van Eijzeren, who goes by the name Stuntkabouter, has been charged with manslaughter following a fatal road accident in France, according to De Telegraaf. The outlet reports that he tested positive for cocaine after the crash.
The charge was reported by several Dutch news organisations, including NOS, AD.nl, NU and Omroep Zeeland. The collision claimed the life of a filmmaker from the Zeeland region, Omroep Zeeland reports.
De Telegraaf was the first to report the positive cocaine test. The other outlets focused on the manslaughter charge and the death of the Zeeland filmmaker. The reports do not specify the date or location of the crash within France, nor the name of the person who died.
Van Eijzeren is known in the Netherlands as an online personality under the Stuntkabouter handle. The reports describe him as an influencer, and the coverage links the charge to allegations that he was under the influence of drugs at the time of the collision.
The case has drawn attention across Dutch media because of his public profile and the nature of the allegations. Under Dutch reporting conventions, the suspect is named because of his prominence online.
Further details on the investigation, any court dates, and Van Eijzeren's response have not been reported in the material available. Follow-up coverage is expected as the French and Dutch authorities proceed with the case.
