Paula Goodspeed, a former contestant on American Idol overdosed outside Paula Abdul’s house. Goodspeed, who died of a possible drug overdose/suicide, overdosed in the exact same area around one year ago.
We’re told cops were called to Paula Abdul’s house — either late last year or early this year — and found Goodspeed inside her car, unconscious from a drug overdose.
Sources say Goodspeed suffered from “extreme mental illness” that spun out of control in the last two years.
Goodspeed, who was obsessed with Abdul, frightened the “A.I.” judge — LAPD’s Threat Management division took the case and there was an active investigation. We’re told lots of people tried to get Goodspeed help, but it was all to no avail.
