Their mother committed suicide in 2010 in circumstances still surrounded by gray areas. The Bordeaux prosecutor’s office reopened the investigation.
They have gone through the unnameable and undoubtedly try today, as best they can, to continue their lives. Since the Documentary Netflix exit on Netflix From Rock Star to killer: the Cantat casethe light moves to the two children that the singer had with Krisztina Rády. As a reminder, Bertrand Cantat was sentenced in 2004 to eight years in prison for the murder of actress Marie Trintignant in Vilnius. Released in 2007 after four years behind bars, he then found his first wife, mother of his two children, who was by his side throughout his trial.
Because Krisztina Rády has always been there for him. At her release, in 2007, she welcomed her under her roof in Bordeaux. But cohabitation quickly turns into a nightmare. In January 2010, at 39, she hangs herself in her Bordeaux apartment; The ex-leader of Noir Désir is there at the time of the drama, but does not hear anything, knocked out by the sleeping pills according to his deposition. At the time, his death was quickly classified. But the broadcasting of the documentary and the persistent gray areas led the Bordeaux prosecution to reopen the investigation. Among the questions that come back, these: could Krisztina have really been able to abandon her children? Was it pushed to suicide? Because behind this affair, he remains above all Milo and Alice, now aged 27 and 22, who have become adults far too fast.

Discovery of suicide
In 2010, it was Milo, then 13 years old, who finds the body of his inanimate mother on the stairs leading on the first floor, hanged “with the hammock of the kitchen”, reports Paris Match in its issue dated July 31. On January 10, in the early morning, the child had gone to play football, while his sister Alice was “with a girlfriend”. Later, the investigators will get their hands on the word Krisztina Rády left that day: “Hello and goodbye!” I committed suicide because of my inability! Thank you for the ‘lamentable’ benevolence of small corporals like Pierre V. and Robert L., Thank you to the incessant cries and the accusations of Bertrand, exclusive to suffering. I apologize to my children, Milo and Alice, Alice and Milo that I love the most in the world. They alone know my life. “
After which, the two children, born in Bordeaux, stay with their father, who obtained custody. The ex-black star of Noir Désir and former prisoner tries to protect them as much as possible from the spotlights and the curiosity of the media. For several years, Milo has been trying to follow the paternal steps as a musician, while Alice has taken a opposite path.

Rap and photography
Krisztina Rády’s son released an EP in 2019 in collaboration with two rappers, Muninn and Jemon. He calls himself “Mylaw”. On social networks, however, he keeps a rather confidential notoriety. If it is his own, his Instagram account remains private, with some 900 subscribers. Same thing for her sister Alice, who keeps the secret around her private life, not found on networks. At 22, she is passionate about anthropology and is initiated by the Ponts et Passages site, devoted to young photographers, according to Paris Match. She would also have, unlike her brother, kept a close relationship with her father, reports the weekly, but desired adding her mother’s particle, Rady, to her family name.
According to the site Lejournaltech.frwhich devotes a portrait to her: “Alice opts for a pseudonym account where she shares little, but carefully: misty landscapes of the Garonne, Street Art scenes in Budapest, extracts from discreet varnisages. It favors a visual aesthetic which reflects its sensitivity rather than a digital diary. ” It should be remembered that Milo and Alice were born in Bordeaux but often went back and forth in Hungary, in Budapest, from where Krisztina Rády was from. Woman of letters, the former wife of Bertrand Cantat has a time organized artistic events in the country, before becoming cultural director of the Hungarian Institute of Paris. We also learn that Alice Cantat-Rady is said to have organized pensions in Bordeaux “Art & Spirit” devoted to mental health, “mixing photographic walks and therapeutic expression workshops, in order to break taboos and create a link”. For the rest, Milo and Alice have never been publicly expressed or on the murder committed by their father, nor on the release of the Netflix documentary.
