A former American Idol1 contestant2 has been killed in a hit-and-run car accident in New Jersey3, officials say.
官员称,前美国偶像竞争者在新泽西死于车祸。
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
