Last night a dead body was found in a car just a few houses away from the home of American Idol judge Paula Abdul.  The deceased woman was said to be a “big fan” of Paula, according to her parents.

The cause of death is currently being reported by the police as a possible drug overdose/suicide.  Whether the woman killed herself because of some fixation for Abdul is unknown.    Her proximity to Paula’s home is being looked at as more than a mere coincidence.

LAPD reportedly received a call from Ventura County Sheriff’s Department last night, alerting them to the possibility of a body in a car on Abdul’s street.  No word on how they received the tip.  The woman’s identity has not yet been made public and word is that Paula was not home at the time.

We will update this story as more information is released.
