Five days after she went missing, Lindsey Pearlman, an actress who held roles in General Hospital and Chicago Justice, was found dead in Los Angeles.
The 43 years old actress is known for her performances in General Hospital, American Housewife, and several other shows. According to reports, investigators had sought the public’s help in finding Lindsey after she went missing.
The Los Angeles Police Department, in a statement, shared that on Friday at 10 a.m., they received a call over a death investigation from Franklin Avenue and North Sierra Bonita Avenue.
It was confirmed by the LA County Coroner’s Office that the person was Lindsey Erin Pearlman. The coroner will determine the cause of death, the statement added.
Runyon Canyon Park is a very popular hiking destination for people in California, especially in the Los Angeles area. The hiking trail is just north of Franklin and North Sierra Bonita Avenue, where police found the young actress dead. It was absolutely devastating news for her family and friends.
Meanwhile, the actress’s husband, Vance Smith, took to Instagram and penned an emotional note saying, “The police found Lindsey. She’s gone. I’m broken. I will share more later, but I wanted to thank you to everyone for their love and efforts and ask you to respect the privacy of her family at this time.”
Also, Lindsey’s cousin Savannah Pearlman turned to Twitter to confirm the tragedy, writing: “UPDATE: I’m deeply saddened to report that they have found Lindsey, and it was too late. I have no other information about the location or circumstance.”
