Police have confirmed that a body found semi-naked in Gran Canaria is that of Hungarian reality TV star and influencer Annabella Lovas, 32. Identification was made through dental records after a tooth was sent to Interpol.
Ms Lovas had been reported missing in November 2024 but was located days later at an apartment in Playa del Ingles, where she confirmed she was safe. However, on March 6 last year, a body was discovered in a natural pool in the Berriel Ravine, inland from the coast, following storms.
The victim was naked from the waist down, and forensic experts could not extract conclusive DNA as her fingertips had been destroyed during an estimated three weeks in the water. Searches using drones and helicopters failed to find any belongings.
Police believe Ms Lovas ran out of money and ended up on the streets, likely dying elsewhere before flash floods carried her body to the remote site. Police Chief Pablo Fernandez Sala described the identification process as 'hard and intense', noting that the terrain made it impossible to reconstruct her final steps.
Ms Lovas rose to fame in 2021 on the Hungarian version of the Bachelor before building a social media following. Her family had raised concerns about her vulnerability after a cancer battle left her with psychological after-effects.
