BREAKING: Hollywood Singer Rebekah Del Rio Dies at 57; Cause of Death Unknown

Hollywood singer Rebekah Del Rio has passed away at the age of 57. She was found dead at her home in Los Angeles on June 23.

The cause of death has not yet been determined, according to the Los Angeles Coroner’s Office, which confirmed her passing. Further details remain pending.

Rebekah gained fame with her rendition of Llorando in David Lynch’s 2021 film Mulholland Drive. At the time, she had a country record deal in Nashville, Tennessee, due to her recording of Llorando – a Spanish adaptation of Roy Orbison’s timeless classic Crying.

In tribute, her nephew Dan Coronado issued a statement on Facebook. Accompanied by photographs of Del Rio and her family, he shared: “Just found out my Tia Becky passed away, and we literally just saw her on Father’s Day.So grateful the kids got to hear her sing, and also that I didn’t listen to her and secretly recorded the moment.”
