Jeopardy! contestant Laurin Bell passed away, at age 41, on Monday a little over two years after her first and only appearance on the trivia game show.
The Florida Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed to The US Sun on Tuesday that the executive assistant had died by suicide.
‘An autopsy has been performed, and toxicology testing is underway,’ the spokesperson said.
Facebook user Kristen Joyner wrote on Tuesday that Laurin ‘decided to end her life’ and he called her ‘a brilliant, funny, and beautiful soul.’
Bell left behind her 14-year-old ‘great canine companion’ Kinley – who’s not good with other dogs but is friendly with everyone and cats – is now available to be adopted in the next 10 days at an animal shelter in Polk County, FL.
Some were sharing a farewell Facebook post accredited to the Lakeland, FL resident, which read ‘Well everyone, I’m signing off from life. See you on the other side’ but it’s unclear if it’s actually real.
