‘Love Island’ reality star Mike Thalassitis dead at 26

“Love Island’s” Mike Thalassitis was found hanged in a park on Saturday, police have confirmed.

The Metropolitan Police said they were not treating the 26-year-old man’s death as suspicious after his body was tragically found in Edmonton, North London.

A Met Police spokesperson said in a statement they had been called to a park near Latymer Way about 9:30 a.m. Saturday to “reports of a man found hanged.”

Despite paramedics rushing to the scene, the young man was pronounced dead.

A file will now be prepared for the coroner.

The news of Mike’s death comes after it was revealed the star was grief-stricken over the death of his beloved grandmother and plagued with “huge debts.”

A source told The Mirror: “His party lifestyle came at a price and he wasn’t earning a lot of cash after ‘Love Island,’ especially as he became his nan’s carer.”

A source told The Sun: “It is absolutely tragic to have died at such a young age.

“Mike had so much to live for. He was about to launch a restaurant in Essex with a pal.”

The Sun’s Dan Wootton paid tribute to the reality star on Twitter, saying: “Devastated to hear of the passing of Mike Thalassitis.

“He was a good man and this is an atrocious waste of a young life.

“I spoke to Mike (who loved that I would still call him Muggy) on Thursday.

“He was grieving the loss of his nan. She was 94 and he had moved in to live with her because she needed a full-time carer. He assured me he was fine and was excited about the launch of his shop.”

He added: “There was so much in store for his future that this is truly senseless.

“Mike wasn’t the lad you saw on Love Island. He was tender and sensitive and vulnerable and desperate for true love. Rest in peace, mate. I will miss you.”

Mike, who shot to fame on the 2017 series of the ITV2 dating show, had also recently suffered a painful split from his Towie star ex-girlfriend Megan McKenna.
