Nichole Coats, 32, and Maleesa Mooney, 31, were both found dead in their downtown Los Angeles apartments this month.
Two models have been found dead inside their luxury apartments in downtown Los Angeles within the last week, authorities confirmed Saturday night.The LAPD said in a statement Tuesday that “there is no evidence to suggest that the deaths of Ms. Coats and Ms. Mooney are related to one another.” The LAPD is still investigating the cause of death for both women; no further details about the case will be released during the active investigation.
Still, LAPD Officer Tony Im said Tuesday the circumstances of Coats’ death showed nothing “that stood out to us that would make it a homicide, so we need the coroner to do an examination of the body to see what caused the death.” But Coats’ aunt, May Stephen, told KTLA that she believes her niece, who went by Nikki, was murdered.
“I couldn’t recognize her,” Steven said, describing Coats’ body. “I believe it was murder, I really do. One of her legs was up in the air in a kicking position. That’s not somebody who just laid in their bed and died.”
