Simone Battle, a U.S. ‘X Factor’ finalist and member of pop group G.R.L., was found dead in her West Hollywood home on Friday. The singer was 25.
TMZ reports Battle was found hanging on a rod in the closet of her bedroom around 8:30 a.m. on Friday.
A spokeswoman for the LAPD could not confirm the details of Battle’s death when TheWrap reached out for comment. Battle’s record company, however, confirmed her passing and released a statement to the media.

She died as she lived… hanging off a stiff rod. I heard that when they found her she was just hanging around. Perhaps she thought she was hanging out with robin williams?
