Simone Battle’s tragic death is a suicide by hanging, a Los Angeles County coroner's spokesperson said on Monday. Battle was best known for being ‘The X Factor’ finalist in 2011, where she was mentored by judge Simon Cowell.
Simone Battle who was a member of girls' group G.R.L was just 25 years old. News of her death was confirmed by her music group's management and record company.
According to media reports, the group was featured on rapper Pitbull's hit song ‘Wild Wild Love’ earlier this year. Battle told The Associated Press in July that the collaboration gave the group a platform to launch its debut single, ‘Ugly Heart’.
A posting on G.R.L.'s Twitter account one of the members of the group said, “Words cannot express the depth of our loss. Simone's incredible talent was only surpassed by the size of her heart. We will carry her memory with us in everything we do”.
