‘American Idol' season five contestant Paula Goodspeed, 30, was found dead in a car near Abdul's Los Angeles house on Tuesday Night. She was obsessed with Paula Abdul and the case is being investigated as a possible suicide, with the cause of death is suspected to be a drug overdose.

"Ms. Goodspeed's mother had gone to [the sheriff's department] to report her daughter missing, and advised them that she might be suicidal," says Los Angeles police Capt. James Miller. "The sheriffs determined that Ms. Goodspeed may be up in the vicinity by Paula Abdul's house. Our officers discovered her vehicle parked on the street, and found her inside. She was unresponsive to officers." The woman's car featured a license plate "ABL LV" and had a photo of Abdul hanging from the rear view mirror, according to Fox News video taken at the scene. A DMV check of the license showed that the car was registered to Goodspeed.

When the body was found Abdul was at the studio and wasn't aware of it until she was told by the network. "I am deeply shocked and saddened at what transpired yesterday," Abdul said in a statement. "My heart and prayers go out to her family." What has the world come to? RIP
