LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- A woman was found dead on Tuesday evening, near a home believed to be owned by Paula Abdul, Access Hollywood has learned.
A 30-year-old woman was found dead in a parked car in the Sherman Oaks, Calif. community the "American Idol" judge reportedly resides in. The woman was found sometime after 6PM on Tuesday after the Los Angeles Police Department received a tip from a neighboring agency, according to LAPD spokesperson Officer Karen Smith.

"Our Van Nuys division did receive a call from the Ventura County's Sheriff. A woman's parents reported her missing and they thought that she may be at Paula Abdul's house," Smith told Access.
The parents of the woman reportedly believed their daughter was nearby Abdul's home as she was reportedly "a big fan" of the "Idol" judge, Officer Smith told Access.
When authorities arrived, the unidentified woman was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities are awaiting a coroner's report to verify the cause of death.
Footage of a car parked on the street where the incident occurred, and shown on Fox News 11 in Los Angeles, who first reported the story, showed Paula Abdul stickers dangling from the rear view mirror.
The station reported Abdul was reportedly taping an episode of "Idol" when the incident occurred.

graceepeppersmomI met Paula very recently and can honestly say that she didn't seem like she was on anything what so ever. She seemed like a genuinely nice person so if anyone out there can state that they have ever drug tested her and have the results then maybe I'll have to believe it. I highly doubt that that will happen. In my opinion, it is simply jealousy that brings this out in people.report abuseposted November 12, 2008 1:40 PM PST
