A suspect in Kim Kardashian’s 2016 robbery has died.
As the trial of the Kardashians star’s alleged assailants began in a Paris courtroom April 28, the court confirmed one of the defendants in the case had passed away, according to The New York Times.
Additionally, another suspect was determined in court to be too ill to stand trial, according to the outlet.
E! News has reached out to Kim’s rep but has not received a comment.
Meanwhile, 10 other suspects—part of what the French media has dubbed The Grandpa Gang due to their advanced age at the time of the heist—face charges of robbery and kidnapping in connection to the incident, where the reality star was gagged, bound and placed in the bathroom of her hotel room while robbers stole millions of dollars’ worth of jewelry, according to NBC News.
The trial is set to run through May 23, with Kim, 44, set to take the stand May 13. Her attorney, Michael Rhodes, told NBC News his client has “tremendous appreciation and admiration for the French judicial system,” adding that she “has been treated with great respect by the French authorities.”
