La madre de la estrella de "The Voice" —Lauren Duski— parece haber muerto por suicidio, esto después de haber sido encontrada muerta en su carro con una herida de bala, TMZ ha confirmado.

De acuerdo con la Policía de Indian River (Michigan) los oficiales encontraron un carro "sentado en el borde de la calzada con una mujer en el asiento del conductor desplomado" el viernes... y los paramédicos la encontraron sin pulso cuando llegaron.

La policía dice que tenía una "sola herida de bala en el pecho" y se encontró una pistola en el carro con "una ronda menos." TMZ confirmó con fuentes policiales que la mujer era la madre de Lauren, Janis Duski, de 59 años.

Aunque la policía sigue investigando la muerte de Janis, parece que todo apunta a que se trata de un suicidio.

Lauren dio un emotivo adiós a su madre en un conmovedor post en línea el lunes, diciendo: "Mi mamá fue la más grande persona que he conocido. No había nadie que amara más".

En el post, la concursante de la temporada 12 se tomó su tiempo para recordarle a la gente que "por favor, hablen entre ustedes. Si tienes problemas, no te avergüences. No se avergüencen. No te avergüences. Tu salud mental no es motivo de verguenza y tampoco lo es hablar de ello".

Janis tenía 59 años.

RIP.

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay has been placed on Injured Reserve with a gnarly illness ... forcing him to back out of an upcoming concert with his band.

The news just came out Tuesday morning ... with Adam Schefter releasing a statement from the Colts on 64-year-old Irsay's condition.

"Jim Irsay is currently being treated for a severe respiratory illness," the team said.

Irsay was slated to hit the stage alongside his "Jim Irsay Band" rock group as part of an exhibit and concert event in Los Angeles on Thursday ... which will feature items from his massive music and sports memorabilia collection.

The band -- which is slated to have special appearances from Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top and more -- will seemingly hit the stage without Irsay, who served as main vocalist for previous gigs.

"While this unfortunately means he won't be able to perform with his band this week in Los Angeles, he is receiving excellent care and looks forward to returning to the stage as soon as possible," the team added.

Sinéad O'Connor died of natural causes, British authorities announced Tuesday.

A rep for London's Southwark Coroner's Court tells TMZ ... she passed away from "natural causes" and "the coroner has therefore ceased their involvement in her death."

As we reported, cops in London responded to a report of an unresponsive woman at a residence ... arriving to find the 56-year-old singer already dead. Attempts were made to revive her, but they were unsuccessful.

Sinéad's 17-year-old son, Shane, died by suicide in early 2022 just 2 days after going missing from the hospital while on suicide watch. After his death, Sinéad called her son "the very light of my life" ... begging for him to be at peace.

She expressed more grief about Shane less than 2 weeks before her death, saying on social media, "He was the only person who ever loved me unconditionally. I am lost in the bardo without him."

Sinéad has also struggled with her mental health in the past, telling Dr. Phil in 2017 she'd attempted suicide 8 times in a year.

She also was reported missing the year before, allegedly threatening to jump off a bridge -- but Sinéad was found safe and said the suicide claims were BS.

The singer's seen a ton of love from the community since her death ... including from Conor McGregor, who had her sing during his 2015 walkout at UFC 189 in Las Vegas. He told TMZ, "The world has lost a beautiful voice and an even more beautiful person."

Pink and Brandi Carlile also paid tribute to her, jumping on stage together to perform a moving rendition of Sinéad's hit song, "Nothing Compares 2 U."

Sinéad O'Connor falleció de causas naturales, anunciaron las autoridades británicas el martes.

Southwark Coroner, representante del Tribunal de Londres, dice a TMZ que murió de "causas naturales" y "el juez de instrucción, por tanto, ha cesado su participación en su muerte".

Como informamos, los policías de Londres respondieron a un informe sobre una mujer que no respondía en una residencia. Cuando llegaron encontraron a la cantante de 56 años ya muerta. Intentaron reanimarla, pero no tuvieron éxito.

El hijo de Sinéad, Shane, de 17 años, murió por suicidio a principios de 2022, dos días después de desaparecer del hospital mientras estaba bajo vigilancia por intento de suicidio. Después de su muerte, Sinéad llamó a su hijo "la luz de mi vida", rogando por que estuviera en paz.

La cantante expresó más dolor por Shane menos de 2 semanas antes de su muerte, diciendo en las redes sociales: "Él era la única persona que siempre me amó incondicionalmente. Estoy perdida en el bardo sin él".

Sinéad también había estado luchando con su salud mental en el pasado. En 2017, le dijo al Dr. Phil en 2017 que había intentado suicidarse 8 veces en un año.

También fue reportada como desaparecida el año antes. Supuestamente, habría amenazado con saltar de un puente, pero fue encontrada a salvo y dijo que las afirmaciones de suicidio eran mentira.

Sinéad ha recibido una tonelada de amor de la comunidad desde su muerte, incluyendo de Conor McGregor, que la hizo cantar durante su 2015 walkout en UFC 189 en Las Vegas. Le dijo a TMZ: "El mundo ha perdido una hermosa voz y una persona aún más hermosa".

Ja Morant was a man of few words after learning his 2023-24 season was over ... going to social media to express his frustrations by simply saying, "Damn dawg."

The Memphis Grizzlies broke the news Monday night ... saying their superstar guard suffered a partial dislocation of his right shoulder during Saturday's training session.

The team said Morant continued to experience soreness and instability in the following days ... so he underwent an MRI, which revealed an underlying labral tear.

The ailment brings Morant's revenge tour to a screeching halt ... as he was out to make up for time lost after missing the first chunk of the season due to his gun-related suspension.

As we previously reported, Morant was quick to make sure his haters knew he heard all the talk in his first game back ... yelling he "kept receipts" after nailing the game-winning bucket against the New Orleans Pelicans last month.

Ja -- who missed Sunday's matchup against the Phoenix Suns -- was understandably bummed about his season being over ... also sending out a blue heart and posting "just waiting for the sun to come out..." later Monday night.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was arrested for illegal possession of an assault rifle this weekend in L.A. ... after cops were called to the scene by a concerned fan who believed the boxer may be a danger to himself or others.

TMZ Sports has learned the 37-year-old former champ, son of the legendary Mexican pugilist Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., was taken into custody by LAPD around 1:30 PM ... after Jr. permitted responding officers to enter his home, where they located the illegal rifle.

Law enforcement sources tell us the weapon was an untraceable "ghost gun."

Chavez Jr. was ultimately transported to the Valley Jail in Van Nuys ... where the 6'1", 170 lb. fighter was booked.

It's not the first time people around Julio have feared for his safety. In fact, Chavez Sr. recently opened up about fears his son could lose his life if he continues down the same path.

Speaking of his God-like figure of a dad, although Julio didn't come close to the astronomical success his dad achieved in the squared circle, Jr. finished his boxing career with a 53-6-1 record ... fighting the likes of Daniel Jacobs and Canelo Alvarez.

Mary Lou Retton is doing her first interview since being released from the hospital last year amid a scary battle with pneumonia -- and now, we're learning it was nearly deadly.

The ex-Olympic champion is set to do a sit-down with Hoda Kotb of "Today" this week, and a teaser clip was released ... which features the images of her we've seen publicly for a long while, and it's somewhat startling to see that she has breathing tubes hooked up to her.

Hoda notes that MLR is still on oxygen, which Mary confirms ... only to then discuss how awkward and difficult it is for her to discuss her health scare in the public eye like this.

She then makes another revelation ... saying she's grateful to be here, 'cause for a while during her hospitalization -- Mary didn't think she'd make it. As she notes here, they were on the cusp of placing her on life support, confirming the seriousness of her condition.

Her family members had been telegraphing this to us at the time ... discussing setbacks during her recuperation, and how scared her loved ones were for her, asking for prayers. Remember, Mary Lou had contracted a rare form of pneumonia -- which took its toll.

Thankfully, Mary Lou was able to fight back to good enough health to be released -- and now, it looks like she continues to be on the mend as she gets to 100% again at home.

A swimmer who won gold during the 1972 Olympics shortly after suffering from a collapsed lung has his collection of medals going up for auction.

Steve Genter's set of gold, silver, and bronze medals from the '72 Summer Games in Munich are estimated to go for more than $50K during RR Auction's Olympic-themed auction.

The American athlete risked his life to compete in the games ... after undergoing minor surgery for a partly collapsed lung just one week before competing -- which was said to have been brought on by a persistent cough from bronchitis and altitude changes during the cramped plane ride to Munich.

Steve went on to win the gold medal in the 4 x 200-meter freestyle relay, silver in the 200-meter freestyle, and bronze in the 400-meter freestyle.

Steven Genter told the auction house...  "For most of my life, the medals represented a defining moment in time. Each medal is uniquely intertwined with the Olympic experience, making those memories lifelong. I get goosebumps every time I recall those moments."

Steve gifted the medals to help someone whom he cares deeply about, who wished to remain anonymous. This person will pocket the proceeds. The winning bidder will also get a one-on-one call with Steve.

Bobby Livingston, executive vice president at the auction house, gushed of the extraordinary narrative behind the medals ... saying they didn't just symbolize winning ... but the character and heart that defines a true champion.

Un nadador que ganó el oro durante los Juegos Olímpicos de 1972 poco después de sufrir un colapso pulmonar puso su colección de medallas a subasta.

Se estima que el conjunto de medallas de oro, plata y bronce de Steve Genter correspondientes a los Juegos Olímpicos de 1972 en Múnich superará los 50.000 dólares en la subasta de RR Auction, con la temática olímpica.

El atleta estadounidense arriesgó su vida al competir en los juegos solo una semana después de someterse a una cirugía menor por un pulmón parcialmente colapsado. Se dijo que tenía una tos persistente por la bronquitis y los cambios de altitud durante el viaje en avión a Munich.

Steve ganó la medalla de oro en el relevo de 4 x 200 metros estilo libre, la de plata en 200 metros estilo libre y la de bronce en 400 metros estilo libre.

Steven Genter le dijo a la casa de subastas: "Durante la mayor parte de mi vida, las medallas representaron un momento decisivo en el tiempo. Cada medalla está entrelazada de forma única con la experiencia olímpica, haciendo que esos recuerdos sean para toda la vida. Se me pone la piel de gallina cada vez que recuerdo esos momentos".

Steve donó las medallas para ayudar a una persona que aprecia profundamente y que desea mantener en el anonimato. Esta se embolsará la recaudación. El ganador de la puja también tendrá una entrevista personal con Steve.

Bobby Livingston, vicepresidente ejecutivo de la casa de subastas, se deshizo en elogios hacia la extraordinaria narrativa que hay detrás de las medallas, afirmando que no solo simbolizan la victoria, sino que el carácter y el corazón que definen a un verdadero campeón.

El delincuente volador que atacó a una jueza de Las Vegas está pagando por sus acciones en más de un sentido. No solo ha sido castigado con un montón de nuevos cargos, también está aislado y en solitario.

Fuentes policiales le dicen TMZ que Deobra Redden ha sido trasladado a una celda en solitario después de su violento arrebato, en el que saltó sobre el banco de la jueza Mary Kay Holthus principios de esta semana, para agarrarla y tratar de maltratarla, mientras el personal del tribunal se apresuraba a ayudarla.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que Redden fue inmediatamente clasificado como un recluso "2C", que es la clasificación más restrictiva en la cárcel del condado de Clark.

Esto significa que Redden está solo en una celda, sin ninguna interacción con otros reclusos. También come solo, dentro de ella y puede estar muy poco tiempo fuera.

El arrebato de Redden fue impactante. El delincuente estaba en la corte por una condena anterior por intento de agresión con lesiones corporales sustanciales. Su abogado había pedido la libertad condicional a la jueza Holthus, pero ella optó por condenarlo 3 veces por el delito en su lugar, lo que gatilló su enfado y dio lugar al ataque.

La jueza Holthus resultó en general ilesa, pero sí conmocionada por el incidente. Otro empleado de la corte requirió puntos de sutura para cerrar una herida en la cabeza.

The flying felon who attacked a Vegas judge is paying for his actions in more ways than one ... not only has he been hit with a bunch more charges, he's also now in solitary.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Deobra Redden has been moved to a solo cell following his violent outburst where he leaped over the bench at Judge Mary Kay Holthus earlier this week, punching her in the head and pulling her hair while court staffers rushed to her aid.

Our sources say Redden was immediately classified as a "2C" inmate, which is the most restrictive classification in the Clark County Jail.

This means Redden is solo in a cell, without any interactions with other inmates. He also eats alone, inside the cell ... and has very limited time outside.

The whole thing was shocking ... Redden was in court for a previous conviction for attempted battery with substantial bodily harm. His attorney had asked Judge Holthus for parole, but she chose to sentence the 3-time felon instead -- which set him off and led to the attack.

Judge Holthus was mostly unharmed, but shaken up by the incident. Another court employee required 25 stitches to close a gash on his head.

Lamar Odom dice que la ketamina ha sido una herramienta exitosa para él y que lo ha ayudado a combatir sus problemas de adicción, esto después de que se revelara que el fármaco estaba en el cuerpo de Matthew Perry cuando murió.

Conversamos con Lamar afuera de Oxy Dental el jueves en Lomita, California (de su propiedad), y habló sobre la controversia en torno a la terapia de ketamina tras el informe del forense sobre la muerte de Matthew.

Lamar dice que la terapia de Matthew era similar a la suya y de acuerdo a su experiencia, funciona, pero hay serias condiciones. Para empezar, los usuarios no deben conducir.

La ketamina se ha utilizado para la depresión y la ansiedad, pero es más comúnmente utilizada como anestésico en los quirófanos.

Como informamos, Matthew fue encontrado en su jacuzzi en octubre, donde se declaró su muerte. El examinador médico del condado de Los Ángeles afirmó que tenía altos niveles de ketamina en su sistema, que lo dejaron inconsciente.

El Dr. Zaid Fadul, que ha prescrito la ketamina a sus pacientes, se unió a nosotros en "TMZ Live", el mes pasado y nos explicó por qué era engañoso que el forense apuntara con el dedo a la droga.

Lamar Odom says ketamine has been a successful tool to help him combat his addiction problems ... this after it was revealed it was in Matthew Perry's system when he died.

We got Lamar outside Oxy Dental, which Lamar owns, in Lomita, CA on Thursday, and talked about the controversy surrounding ketamine treatment therapy following the coroner's report on Matthew's death.

Lamar says Matthew's therapy was similar to his ... and according to him, it works -- but there are serious strings attached. For starters, users should not drive cars.

Ketamine has been used for depression and anxiety but is more commonly used as an anesthetic in operating rooms.

As we reported, Matthew was found in his jacuzzi in October and was declared dead. The L.A. County Medical Examiner claimed he had high levels of ketamine in his system, rendering him unconscious.

Dr. Zaid Fadul, who has prescribed ketamine to his patients, joined us on "TMZ Live," last month ... telling us why the coroner pointing fingers at the drug was misleading.

Michael Bolton pasó un gran susto de salud. Dice que los médicos descubrieron un tumor en su cerebro y que requirió cirugía inmediata.

El popular cantante y compositor de los años 80 y 90 reveló su diagnóstico en un post de redes sociales, diciendo que se enteró del tumor y que se fue al quirófano justo antes de las fiestas de vacaciones 2023.

Michael dice que el problema de salud presentó "desafíos inesperados", pero dice que la cirugía fue un éxito y que se está recuperando en casa, donde está recibiendo el amor y el apoyo de sus familiares y amigos.

Un tumor cerebral y una cirugía son algo muy serio, por lo que Michael dice que se va a tomar por lo menos un par de meses para descansar y recuperarse, lo que significa un descanso "temporal" de las giras.

Big health scare for Michael Bolton ... he says doctors discovered a tumor in his brain and it required immediate surgery.

The 80s and 90s hitmaking singer/songwriter revealed his diagnosis in a social media post, saying he found out about the tumor, and went under the knife just before the 2023 holiday season.

Michael says the health issue presented "unexpected challenges," but he says the surgery was successful and he's recovering at home, where he's being feeling love and support from friends and family.

A brain tumor and subsequent surgery is very serious stuff ... and Michael says he's going to take at least a couple months off to recover, which means a "temporary" break from touring.

Una pasajera de Delta se fue en una diatriba de improperios, que incluyó comentarios sobre su período, causando no solo una escena, sino que el vuelo se retrasara en una hora.

Mira a la mujer perdiendo completamente el control en estas imágenes capturadas el lunes en el Aeropuerto Internacional Hartsfield-Jackson en Atlanta. En ellas se ve cómo irrespetuosamente apoda a uno de los miembros del personal como 'estúpida put****' después de que supuestamente fuera expulsada del vuelo con dirección a Rochester, NYC.

La mujer estaba visiblemente enfadada, golpeando repetidamente su bolsa contra el mostrador y exigiendo hablar con el gerente y ordenando que llamasen a la policía.

Después de seguir lanzando groserías descaradamente, la mujer se da la vuelta y le declara a todos que está "en pañales y sangrando" porque es su momento del mes.

Un hombre detrás de ella, entonces, llama su atención y ella da marcha atrás y le ladra: "¡Estoy con la regla! ¿Sabes lo que es un útero? Estúpido idiota, comadreja".

Continúa haciéndole preguntas sobre lo que significa tener un útero hasta que finalmente es llevada afuera por la policía, lo que provocó vítores de otros pasajeros.
