Obsessed Fan Found Dead


An obsessed fan and ex-American Idol contestant was found dead Tuesday night in a car near American Idol judge Paula Abdul's home in Los Angeles.
Thirty-year-old Paula Goodspeed, a season 5 contender whose performance was mocked by the judges, appears to have died from a drug overdose, police say.
After reporting her daughter missing, Goodspeed's mother told the sherrif's department she might be suicidal. The sheriffs determined Ms. Goodspeed may be in the area of Paula Abdul's home and later found her vehicle parked on the street several doors down. Ms. Goodspeed was inside and unresponsive to officers.
"This has been ruled an apparent suicide," says LAPD officer April Harding.
Abdul was not home at the time the body was discovered.
"I am deeply shocked and saddened at what transpired yesterday," Abdul said in a statement. "My heart and prayers go out to her family."
