## Death

On 26 March 2006, two days after JK ended, Perez died from "falling out of the window" of her apartment where she lived alone. On the night of her death, an employee in the apartment building alerted police at 19:00 that day, where they found her corpse at the internal entrance to the parking garage. Prior to her death, she had suffered from severe depression. The events that led up to her death are still unknown, with some hypothesizing that she had died by suicide.
