The accident happened on Monday near Lyon, where Kies and three friends went into the river to cool down during a severe heatwave, with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius. Although emergency services managed to rescue three of the people, Kies was the last person to be found. Despite receiving medical treatment, he was in critical condition and later died in the hospital. This tragedy is part of a larger public health problem; Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu stated that forty drowning deaths related to the current heatwave have been recorded since last Thursday.
這起事故發生於週一在里昂附近，當時氣溫高達 40 攝氏度，正值嚴重熱浪，基斯與三名好友進入河中消暑。雖然緊急救援服務成功救起三人，但基斯是最後一名被發現的人。儘管接受了醫療救治，但其情況危急，隨後在醫院去世。這場悲劇是更大公共衛生問題的一部分；總理塞巴斯蒂安·勒科爾尼表示，自上週四以來，已記錄到 40 起與此次熱浪相關的溺水死亡事件。
Regarding his career, Kies had previously trained in the youth systems of Lyon and Saint-Etienne before joining Guingamp's reserve team last year. Several organizations have released official statements about the tragedy. Guingamp expressed its condolences on social media and promised to provide full support to the grieving family. Furthermore, Saint-Etienne described the young player as a quiet and talented individual during his seven years at the Robert-Herbin Sports Centre. The club also told BBC Sport that they are organizing a tribute at the Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium at the start of the next season.
