During the summer of 2003, she was filming a {{biopic}} {{miniseries}} about writer Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (of ''Film/{{Gigi}}'' fame) in Vilnius, UsefulNotes/{{Lithuania}}, and she had a tumultuous affair with Bertrand Cantat, the lead singer and {{face|Of The Band}} of the French rock band Noir Désir, at the same time (she was married to filmmaker Samuel Benchetrit since 1998). She died from cranial wounds after being [[BludgeonedToDeath repeatedly punched in the head]] by Cantat, who was then convicted of "murder with indirect intent", in what remains perhaps the most infamous case of domestic violence in the history of French show business. She was 41.
