A woman who reportedly attended, and was later physically removed from Lil Kim’s 33rd birthday party was found dead yesterday (August 6). Bystanders say Ingrid Rivera, 24, of Richmond Hill was escorted out by security at Spotlight Live for allegedly being too intoxicated Sunday night. Three days after the star-studded party Rivera‘s body was found in a utility closet on the roof of the Times Square club by a maintenance worker.
“When I was there, everything was cool,” LisaRaye McCoy-Misick tells the New York Times. The actress, who is also a friend of Lil Kim, was spotted along with Missy Elliott and other celebrities. “But we didn’t stay very long. Celebrities never do. And everything was fine then.” Authorities believe a blow from a blunt object caused Rivera‘s death, but the official cause will be determined by autopsy.
The New York Post reports that while Spotlight Live is generally trouble free, a violent melee which left a man dead erupted there last January. A concert by Disney tween rockers The Jonas Brothers is scheduled for Saturday.
