Cohen auditioned in 2007 and 2008 for American Idol

Alexis Cohen, 25, from Allentown, Pennsylvania, was made famous in 2008 after she directed an expletive（填补的）-filled rant⁶（咆哮，激昂的演说） at the show's judges.

A spokesman from the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office said an autopsy⁷（验尸） indicated she had chest, head and abdominal⁸（腹部的） injuries.

An investigation⁹ into the accident in Seaside Heights is under way.

Cohen, who lived with her mother and was studying to become a vet¹⁰（兽医） when she first auditioned（听力，试听）, was seen by viewers describing herself as marching "to the beat of a different drummer".

She compared her voice to singers including Janis Joplin, Pat Benatar and Grace Slick, but the judges were left unimpressed by her performance of Jefferson Airplane's Somebody To Love.

"I don't think this is the route for you, sweetheart," Simon Cowell said before comparing her to the villainous（邪恶的，恶意的） Green Goblin from Spider-Man.

She later launched into a rant against Cowell saying, "Simon is a big fat bad word", before her swearing was bleeped（哔哔声） out.

Clips of her outburst became a hit on file-sharing websites and she appeared on a number of US TV shows.

She returned to audition⁵ for American Idol in 2009 having had a makeover（美容美发）, but was still pronounced "horrendous（可怕的，令人惊惧的）" by Cowell.a
