A REALITY TV star turned influencer has mysteriously been found dead on a Spanish holiday island.
Police are investigating the death of Annabella Lovas, 32, after her lifeless body was found in a natural pool on Gran Canaria island.
Shockingly, the Hungarian was naked from the waist down and authorities believed she had been there for at least three weeks when she was found on March 6 last year.
Lovas’ body was not immediately identified because she had no fingerprints but police logged the tattoos on her shoulder and back.
A drone and helicopter search of the surrounding rough terrain failed to find any trace of the woman’s belongings or clues to her identity.
Forensic experts were also unable to determine the exact cause of death or extract conclusive DNA.
An earlier police report from Lovas’ family shortly before she was found dead sparked investigators to put two and two together.
Eventually, cops sent a tooth to Interpol which positively matched Lovas’ dental records.
Although police still don’t know exactly how she died, they have ruled out a violent death and are not treating it as a crime.
Lovas found success on the 2021 Hungarian version of The Bachelor.
She used her new-found fame to build up an army of fans on social media.
Annabella had moved to Gran Canaria from her homeland after a cancer battle which reportedly left her with psychological after-effects.
Lovas had been the subject of an earlier missing persons appeal in November 2024.
It was resolved days later when police tracked her down to an apartment in the Gran Canaria resort of Playa del Ingles and she confirmed she was ok.
She was previously described as a “vulnerable person”.
Police are working on the theory that she had run out of money and was living on the streets.
They believe she died elsewhere in Gran Canaria before flash flooding from storms carried her body to the remote spot where it was found.
Police chief Pablo Fernandez Sala described the efforts to put a name and surname to the woman found dead as “hard and intense.”
He told island daily La Provincia: “Colleagues tried to reach the natural pool to reconstruct her last steps and carry out a visible inspection on the ground but it was impossible.
How to get help
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.
It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
If you, or anyone you know, needs help dealing with mental health problems, the following organisations provide support:
“You would have needed to be a professional climber, not just any hiker, to reach the spot.
“All we had to go on initially were some strange tattoos she had on her shoulder and back.”
Detailing the dead-end investigators experienced trying to get a positive DNA match, he added: “The mould of the tooth was sent through Interpol and provided conclusive data.
“Once you have a name, it’s easier to find out because most people have a dental record. A set of teeth is like a fingerprint; it has its characteristic points. The dentition is the safe of the human body and what lasts the most at high temperatures.”
