Alexis Cohen on "American Idol"
I’ll be honest, I did not see this coming. After her erratic behavior on “American Idol,” I assumed drugs were involved in Alexis Cohen’s death. I apologize to her family (and anyone else that offends) because it sounds like Alexis was simply a victim in the wrong place at the wrong time. Authorities are now saying that Cohen was the victim of a hit and run.
Shortly after 4:00 am yesterday morning she was struck and killed by a vehicle that then fled the scene. Passersby found her unresponsive in the street and attempts to revive her were unsuccessful. Cohen was 25 years old.
