The American Idol hopeful and Paula Abdul fan found dead outside the celebrity’s LA home in November committed suicide with prescription drugs, the AP reports. A coroner’s report, delayed for toxicology tests, did not specify which drugs killed Paula Goodspeed. Police had long suspected suicide, though no note was left.
On a season 5 appearance, Goodspeed's performance of "Proud Mary" got panned, but she remained a devoted fan of Abdul's, even painting life-size portraits of her. (More Paula Abdul stories.)
