Alexis Cohen from Allentown, Pa., former contestant on American Idol known as Glitter Girl, was found dead in Seaside Heights in an apparent homicide.

According to App.com in a report of the incident, the 25-year-old Alexis Cohen was struck and killed by a car. Deputy Chief Michael Mohel of the Ocean County Prosecutors office said they found her car in a parking lot 300 yards away from where they found her body at around 4am, at the edge of Dupont Avenue near Bay Boulevard.

Michael Mohel stated that a driver and a passenger noticed Alexis Cohen and called 911, after which First Aid workers took her to the Community Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 6:30am. An autopsy performed on Saturday, July 25th revealed chest and abdominal injuries and a closed head injury caused by collision with a vehicle.

As many might remember, Alexis Cohen made it to the part of American Idol that has the least to do with the talent, where the producers attempt to balance humor with drama at the beginning of every season. She was one of the auditioners that did not get a golden ticket to Hollywood. And she was rejected twice. First there was the audition in Philadelphia aired in 2008 for American Idol's Season 7, where she told everyone, "I march to the beat of a different drummer," and allowed herself one of the most unforgettable tantrums on camera after the judges passed on her vocal talents. Next year she was back on Season 8 of Idol, this time trying to behave herself and comically failing to remain in control after being rejected once again.  

Deputy Chief Michael Mohel asks anyone with information about the incident to call Investigator Carlos Trujillo-Tovar of the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office at 732-929-2027 or Detective Steve Korman of the Seaside Heights Police at 732-973-1800.

Alexis Cohen will surely be very missed by her friends and family.
