Mike Thalassitis suicide: 'Love Island' star was reportedly struggling with debt and grieving his grandma's death
Police have confirmed the cause of death of 'Love Island' star Mike Thalassitis as hanging. Metropolitan Police have reportedly confirmed that his body was found hanging in the woods on Saturday in Edmonton, North London, Daily Mail reported.
According to reports, it is being suggested that Mike wasn't feeling his best recently. He is said to have been struggling with financial instability and debt as well as grieving his 94-year-old grandmother who passed away recently. One of his best friend, Danny Cutts, also passed away in December.
"He was always the perfect gentleman and would pick up the bill everywhere we went," a source told Mirror Online, "But 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."
Another insider 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. He was grieving the loss of his nan."
The late reality star is said to have moved in with her after her health started going downhill. He was also overseeing the construction work for his upcoming restaurant in Essex called The Skillet, which he was launching with former professional footballer Scott Neilson.
