The demise of a French television personality known for her controversial actions on a reality show has shocked fans. Loana Petrucciani, aged 48, was discovered lifeless in her residence in Nice. A statement from Prosecutor Damien Martinelli confirmed that an inquiry has been initiated to ascertain the circumstances of her death. Authorities revealed that she had already passed away for a number of days before being found, and a head injury at the back of her skull was likely due to a backward fall.
According to the official statement, no evidence currently implicates a third party in connection with the incident. A deceased dog was also found at the scene. Concerned by her prolonged absence, a neighbor alerted the authorities, leading to the discovery of her body and the dog inside her locked home.
