Lindsey Pearlman: Empire Star’s Cause of Death Revealed

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner has confirmed the cause of death of actress Lindsey Pearlman.

The news comes six months after the Empire star was found dead inside a vehicle near Runyon Canyon Park.

According to a report obtained by People, the coroner has ruled Pearlman’s death as a suicide caused by sodium nitrite toxicity.
