According to a police report obtained by TMZ, Lauren was pronounced dead by paramedics after her colleague found her collapsed and unresponsive in the kitchen.

At the time of her death, her father, Michael, had revealed to TMZ that Lauren suffered from a heart condition that may have contributed to her demise.

However, a couple of months later, the cause of death was revealed to be a drug overdose. According to a report from E! News, Lauren died of a heroin overdose and fentanyl intoxication.
