A teen cheerleader from California leaped to her death in an apparent suicide just weeks after a performance on “America’s Got Talent,” according to reports.
The body of Emily Gold, 17, was found just before midnight Friday under an overpass in Rancho Cucamonga in what authorities are treating as a suicide, the Daily Mail reported.
It had been run over several times before it was recovered, including by one vehicle that didn’t stop, California Highway Patrol told the outlet.
Her death comes a month after her Los Osos High School cheerleading troupe performed at the quarterfinals of NBC’s reality competition show “America’s Got Talent.”
Authorities received 911 calls reporting a pedestrian down in the carpool lane, and California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers responded to the scene.
Emily Gold captured audiences’ hearts earlier this year with her high school dance team from Los Osos High School during their electrifying performance on America’s Got Talent.
