"The Redondo Beach Police received a 911 call from a friend of the apartment unit resident that the female inside was not breathing," the police department said in a statement. "The friend told Redondo Beach Police that the female had not answered her phone in a few days, and went to the location to check on her welfare."

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Last I heard she was living in Tokyo teaching English to kids. One would think she saw the light but I guess when you cannot leave the spotlight and you spend cash galore, you need to resort back to being dirty.
