An inquest has confirmed that Lauren Bennett, a singer with the girl group G.R.L. and known for LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem," died by suicide. Bennett was found deceased in Kent on May 29th.

Earlier in the year, she had a hospitalization under a mental health section due to a period of severe insomnia. Her system showed no presence of alcohol or illicit drugs at the time of her passing.
Pages of farewell notes were subsequently discovered at her residence. Bennett's former bandmates from G.R.L. expressed their heartbreak on social media.
