Abdul's Obsessed Fan OD'd There Before

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Paula Goodspeed, who died of a possible drug overdose/suicide last night, 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.

47. Did PAULA GOODSPEED commit suicide in front of ABDUL's residence to haunt her in life AND death?

How selfish. What a bitch.

48. It reminds me of the 1996 film The Fan where an obsessed baseball fan (played by Robert De Niro) tried to stalk the major baseball player and kill him.

49. What are pathetic celebrity reporters but stalkers of a slightly different stripe?

50. I can't believe the amount of people relating this tragic story to religion...claiming "her soul went to hell". She had a MENTAL ILLNESS and was not able to think accurately. Her illness caused her death. Stop with the nonsense comments and let her R.I.P.
