French electronic music artist Kavinsky, best known for his 2010 hit “Nightcall,” dies at the age of 50, multiple outlets report. His real name is Vincent Pierre Claude Belorgey. Several sources say he is found dead at his home in Paris. Reports cite French media and local authorities as launching an investigation into the circumstances of his death. One outlet states that initial checks at the scene find no signs of suspicious activity, while prosecutors have not publicly disclosed a cause of death.
Kavinsky is widely recognized internationally for “Nightcall,” which appears on the soundtrack for the film “Drive.” Sources also note his role in major recent public appearances: he performs at the closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Coverage describes him as a prominent figure in the French electro scene, with his work associated with both the “Drive” soundtrack era and later performances at high-profile events in Paris.
The reports consistently identify the artist, his age, and the location and timing of his death, while differing only in how much detail is included about investigative steps.
