Former Billie Eilish Stalker Dies in Train Accident
Prenell Rousseau, a 30-year-old man who had previously stalked singer Billie Eilish, died after being struck by a Long Island Rail Road train in Westbury, New York, early Wednesday morning.
The incident occurred around 5:38 a.m., when an LIRR train hit Rousseau as he was jogging on or near the tracks, according to law enforcement officials. Authorities described the death as accidental, with no indication of foul play. Approximately 100 passengers on the train were transferred to another service to continue their journeys, officials said. Rousseau, from nearby Farmingdale, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Rousseau first drew attention in May 2020 when he repeatedly appeared at Eilish's family home in Los Angeles over two days, May 4 and 5. Court documents detail that he visited the property seven times, exhibiting erratic behavior that alarmed Eilish and her family. On his initial appearance, Rousseau rang the doorbell and spoke through the home's surveillance camera to Eilish's father, Patrick O'Connell, asking if the singer lived there. Despite being told he had the wrong address, he returned later that evening.
