Following the devastating news that Love Island 2017 star Mike Thalassitis was found dead at the age of just 26 back in March, an inquest has ruled today (Wednesday 5th June), the cause of his tragic death.
A coroner has ruled that Mike's death was suicide, following a cocaine and drink binge. A toxicology report also showed anti-depressant drug Fluxotine in Mike's system at the time of his death.
Mike, who appeared on Love Island in 2017 and Celebs Go Dating in 2018, was found dead in woodland near his Essex home on Saturday March 16th.
As the new series of Love Island kicked off on Monday 3rd June, ITV bosses dedicated the launch show to Mike, paying tribute to the former Islander at the end of the episode.
Sharing his cast photo from 2017, the tribute read, 'In loving memory of Mike Thalassitis. 1993-2019'.
