French DJ Kavinsky, real name Vincent Belorgey, was found dead at his Paris home on 28 July 2026 at age 50. Paris prosecutors opened an investigation, initially considering a possible stroke, but the cause of death remains undetermined.

His family announced that a religious ceremony will be held on Wednesday 12 August at 10:30 am in the Saint‑Pierre‑de‑Montmartre church in the 18th arrondissement, followed by burial at the Saint‑Vincent cemetery in Montmartre. The announcement was made on 7 August via a death notice in Le Figaro.
