Model and actress Kim Porter was found dead Thursday at her L.A. area home. She was 47.
Law enforcement officials told TMZ, which first reported the news, that they received a call from Porter’s home in Toluca Lake around noon reporting a cardiac arrest.
Porter’s representative Cindy Berger confirmed the death to Variety and CNN.
“Sadly, I can confirm the passing of Kim Porter. I ask that you give the families privacy at this time,” she said in a statement.
Berger did not immediately reply to a request for comment from HuffPost.
The cause of death is still unclear. However, TMZ reported that an anonymous source told the outlet Porter had suffered from flu-like symptoms, and possibly pneumonia, for several weeks.
