Empire Actress Lindsey Pearlman Found Dead After 5-Day Search

Lindsey Pearlman, 43, was discovered dead in Los Angeles following a five day search, according to CNN. She was most known for her work on General Hospital, Empire, and Selena: The Series. The world has lost another star.

After being reported missing on February 13th, the actress was found in the city several miles west of where she was last seen, according to the L.A. Police Department. According to reports, the actress failed to return home at the time, and her friends and family have since reached out to the public for assistance.

“Today around 8:30 AM, Hollywood Area officers responded to a radio call for a death investigation at Franklin Avenue and North Sierra Bonita Avenue,” authorities disclosed in a statement. “The L.A. County Coroner’s Office has since confirmed the individual to be Lindsey Erin Pearlman.”

Following the revelation, Savannah, the late star’s cousin, issued a statement on Twitter. She added, “I’m deeply sad to report that they have found Lindsey, and it was too late. I have no other information about the location or circumstance. Lindsey was a fierce animal advocate and a talented actress. Please consider a donation to [Santé D’Or] in her honor.”

Titles such as The Ms. Pat Show, Sneaky Pete, American Housewife, and Viscious have all been credited to Pearlman at some point throughout her career. Lindsey’s representative said in a statement to E! News that those closest to her are deeply grieved by her death and that the family has requested privacy during this difficult time while they process and grieve. RIP.
