The actress who appeared in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and The 4400, among countless other American television series, passed away in the morning of Monday, 25 February.

Lisa’s manager Mitch Clem has confirmed her death and denied the actress had taken her own life.

Speaking to PEOPLE magazine, Mitch says:

“We all loved Lisa very much and are devastated by the loss we all feel.

“She passed away Monday morning, at home, in her apartment in New Orleans. We are waiting for a coroners report on cause of death.”

There had been rumours about how Lisa had died but Mitch denied the rumours, saying:

“The family has unequivocally confirmed that this is not a suicide.
