The news of Emily Gold's death has shocked and saddened her fans and the entertainment world. The 17-year-old dancer had captured hearts with her talent and charisma on the hit show America's Got Talent, where she appeared with her dance troupe from Los Osos High School.
Gold's journey on the show began in May when she and her group auditioned in front of the judges. They impressed with their performance and were selected to move on to the next round. Last month, they took the stage once again for the quarterfinals and received a standing ovation from Simon Cowell.
However, tragedy struck just weeks after their performance. Gold's body was found under a bridge on Friday night in Rancho Cucamonga, California. According to the San Bernardino Coroner's Office, her death is being investigated as a suspected suicide.
In a statement to People, California Highway Patrol Public Information Officer Rodrigo Jimenez shared that officers responded to a report of a pedestrian down on the 210 Highway. Sadly, they discovered Gold's body, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
The news of Gold's death has left her loved ones and fans devastated. A GoFundMe page has been set up to support her family and cover any expenses, and it has already raised over $25,000.
On social media, Gold's friends and dance partners have paid tribute to her. Her friend Mia Bustamante wrote on Instagram, "My beautiful Goldie, words cannot describe how much I love you. Thinking of being without you breaks my heart. You will be so missed beyond words."
Gold was known for her infectious energy and her ability to light up a room. Her best friend, Mia, described her as a "light in my life" and "forever dance sister."
Before her elimination from America's Got Talent in August, Simon Cowell praised the group, saying, "It was absolutely brilliant...what I just saw is everything a great school should be doing, which is encouraging talent and friendship."
Gold had spoken previously about her experience on the show, saying that she was always focused on applying the corrections given to them before their performances. She was dedicated to her craft and always strived to improve.
As news of Gold's death spreads, fans and loved ones are encouraged to seek support if needed. The Samaritans and PAPYRUS offer 24-hour helplines for anyone in need of emotional support. The entertainment team at The Agency is also available for those who have a story to share.
Emily Gold may have left this world too soon, but her light will continue to shine on in the hearts of those who loved and admired her. Rest in peace, Emily.
