Mathieu decided to undergo a beard transplant in Turkey in March 2024, but the procedure was performed by unqualified personnel, the doctor was actually a real estate agent. The results were disastrous: in addition to the unsightly appearance of the beard, Mathieu suffered significant physical pain. Faced with these complications and despite attempts at correction, Mathieu fell into psychological distress that led him to commit the irreparable.
