Local media reported that an autopsy of Alexis Cohen’s body revealed chest and abdominal injuries and a closed head injury caused by collision with a vehicle. Police are currently treating her death as a homicide.
Alexis Cohen auditioned for the seventh season of American Idol covered in glitter, a look she explained as being like a pirate, and that she “likes things that shine.” She is perhaps better remembered for the rant she delivered after failing to get through to the final rounds.
