Found lifeless at her home in Nice last week, reality TV star Loana Petrucciani immediately became the subject of an investigation by the Nice prosecutor’s office to understand the exact circumstances of this tragedy. Initially, the investigations revealed several disturbing elements, including injuries and the presence of her dog’s body by her side, intensifying the emotional impact around this sudden disappearance. Following the autopsy results, more details were provided, suggesting injuries consistent with an accidental fall, ruling out third-party involvement as no signs of intentional violence were found. However, despite these initial conclusions, the exact causes of the incident remain undetermined at this stage. Investigators are now considering two hypotheses: a medical or toxic origin.
Here’s what we know about Loana’s funeral:
Additional analyses have been carried out to shed light on the circumstances surrounding Loana Petrucciani’s death. While awaiting the results, the young woman’s body has been handed over to her family, who are now entering a period of mourning and organizing the final farewells. During the program “Tout Beau Tout Neuf” aired on W9 on April 1, Gilles Verdez provided some details about the funeral arrangements. “It’s her mother, Violette, who is managing this. She can’t do it alone and is being assisted by a childhood friend of Loana named Nicolas,” explained the columnist, mentioning that Loana is expected to be cremated. Despite the ceremony taking place “in strict privacy,” a public tribute is still planned. Fans of the candidate will have the opportunity to bid her farewell at a “public mass” scheduled for the morning of Saturday, April 4, in Nice.
The discreet yet important role of Alexia Laroche-Joubert in this final homage:
Also present on the set of Tout Beau Tout Neuf, Christine Bravo confirmed that Loana’s mother, Violette, was “overwhelmed by the events.” In response, Steevy Boulay and Alexia Laroche-Joubert reportedly decided to help her with the funeral arrangements. “They are both choosing speeches, songs… They are organizing everything. And I find it very moving,” she shared. Christine Bravo also endorsed Gilles Verdez’s statement that Alexia Laroche-Joubert, the producer of Loft Story, would be covering the costs of Loana Petrucciani’s funeral. The ceremony is estimated to cost just under 4,000 euros, a sum that the young woman reportedly could not afford to pay. It is worth noting that the producer had previously covered her rent in recent years, a gesture that is both direct and profoundly symbolic.
