Autopsy Rules Out Third-Party Involvement in Death of Reality TV Star Loana Petrucciani

The Nice prosecutor's office has announced that forensic examination of Loana Petrucciani's body has eliminated the possibility of external involvement in her death. The 48-year-old former reality television personality was found deceased at her residence near Nice's train station on March 25, 2026. According to a statement released on March 31, 2026, medical examiners discovered superficial scalp wounds and bruising consistent with a fall, with no evidence of violence, strangulation, or assault. The exact cause of death remains undetermined pending additional test results, though authorities indicate it could be medical or toxicological in nature. Petrucciani, who gained fame through the 2001 television program "Loft Story," was reportedly deceased for several days before discovery. Her dog was also found dead at the scene. The investigation continues as officials await further analytical findings to establish precise circumstances.
