Emotion is immense following the death of Loana
The emotion is immense after the disappearance of Loana. Found dead in Nice on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, the former reality TV star leaves behind a wave of sadness, but also a lot of incomprehension, especially among her neighbors who have broken their silence.
The news, revealed by “Paris Match” on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, has deeply marked people’s minds: Loana was found lifeless in her apartment in Nice, at the age of 48. According to the first findings reported on Thursday, March 26, by prosecutor Damien Martinelli, her death would date back to “several days”. It was neighbors who raised the alarm after noticing a suspicious smell in the building. In an interview with “Le Parisien”, the concierge’s husband said: “The wind picked up on Wednesday afternoon. We assume that it entered through the kitchen window which was always open, pushing a strong smell into the common areas. When my wife came back, she went to the basement and then went up. When she reached the apartment, she thought there was a corpse. I didn’t believe her right away. But she was right.”
Neighbors express their anger
Quickly, the emotion turned into a form of anger among some residents. Still in “Le Parisien”, the same witness wonders: “How could they not have noticed anything? She walked her dog every day, it must have barked at some point, no one has the right to die like that…”. He also mentioned that “no one visited her anymore, while at the beginning, yes”. Other residents, interviewed by Nice-Matin, spoke of a woman who was increasingly isolated and vulnerable. Marc, 33, emotionally said: “I’m really not doing well”, before adding, “I am devastated”, remembering their last meeting a few days before the tragedy.
Her mother speaks out
The day after the announcement, the word also spread on the side of her loved ones. Her mother, Violette Petrucciani, spoke in “Paris Match” on Thursday, March 26, 2026. She explained that her daughter would have been dead “probably for 12 days” and admitted to “not knowing more”. Very affected, she said: “Finding out about her daughter’s death like this and then watching TV to confirm it, it’s very difficult.” Despite the pain, she is trying to stay strong: “I will give myself time to mourn later. For now, I still can’t believe it.” A sudden disappearance that also raises a broader question: that of the solitude in which some personalities can sink, far from the spotlight.
