Emily Gold, a 17-year-old high school cheerleader who recently gained national attention on America’s Got Talent, has tragically passed away. Her death is currently being investigated as a possible suicide.
Gold was found under a bridge on the eastbound 210 Freeway in Rancho Cucamonga, California, late Friday night, with authorities believing she may have jumped from an overpass. She was reportedly struck by at least one vehicle, but it’s unclear if the driver was aware of hitting a person. No suicide note was discovered, and investigations are ongoing. Earlier this year, Gold and her high school dance team captivated audiences on America’s Got Talent, receiving a standing ovation from Simon Cowell.
