According to an advisory from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, authorities responded to an emergency medical call in Malibu, Calif. on at approximately 7:15 pm on March 24.
The female patient — who was later identified as Santangelo by TMZ — was transported to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Santangelo’s cause of death is still being determined and an autopsy is pending.

The Sheriff’s Department homicide investigators are assisting in the investigation into her death which is “routinely” done when the cause of death is unknown, according to the advisory.
TMZ — who was first to report the news of Santangelo’s death — reported that authorities learned the actress had recently received cosmetic shots at her home.
In 1989, Santangelo danced in the music video for Young MC’s Bust a Move. One year later, Santangelo’s voice kicked off Jane’s Addiction’s “Stop”. The band’s frontman Perry Farrell called her “the Latin Marilyn Monroe” in Spin Magazine.
