Olivia Newton-John: Death At Star's Home

A workman has been found dead from a gunshot wound inside a South Florida home owned by Olivia Newton-John and her husband, authorities say.

Jupiter police Sergeant Scott Pascarella confirmed the victim was a 42-year-old man who did not live at the home and was not related to its residents.

Sergeant Pascarella said the victim had permission to be at the home, but was not staying there.

Initial media reports listed the death as a suicide, but Sergeant Pascarella said an investigation is under way.

He did not say whether foul play was involved in the death.

Calls to the singer's agent and manager were not immediately returned.

Newton-John's hits include You're The One That I Want, performed with John Travolta in the 1978 movie Grease, and 1981's Physical.

She starred as Sandy Olsen in Grease and as Kira in the romantic musical fantasy Xanadu two years later.

The death is the latest tragedy to affect the 64-year-old singer and actress

Newton-John was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992. She underwent a partial mastectomy and has been free of the disease for more than a decade.

In 1995, her then-boyfriend Patrick McDermott vanished apparently after going on a fishing trip.

Five years later, she said there would "always be a question mark" over his disappearance, even though the US Coast Guard considers him missing at sea.

Earlier this year, Newton-John postponed a series of concerts in Las Vegas to spend time with her sister Rona, who later died from brain cancer.

Drugged with beer and cocaine and left to freeze to death

Three Inca children whose 500-year-old mummies were found at the top of a 22,000ft volcano in Argentina were drugged with beer and cocaine before being left to freeze to death as human sacrifices.

The children included a 13-year-old known as the ‘Llullaillaco Maiden’ and a boy and girl of about four or five, whose remains were struck by lightning and charred.

According to Inca beliefs, the children served as guardians over their villages from the heights of the mountains.

Glee Season 5: 2 New Roles Being Cast in Wake of Cory Monteith's Death

by Tierney Bricker and Kristin Dos Santos Tue., Jul. 16, 2013 6:04 PM PDT

FOX

Glee is moving forward with casting new characters for season five, after losing one of their most beloved stars, Cory Monteith, who died of an overdose on Saturday. The Fox hit series is adding at least two new actors when it returns for its fifth season, sources confirm to E! News.

Though the network and Glee executives will be meeting within the next few days to figure out how to handle Monteith's absence on the series, this is the first we're hearing of any part of production moving forward in the aftermath of the actor's tragic death.

The casting calls for these roles went out last week, before Monteith's death, and now sources confim that the process has not been halted.

The two new roles producers are currently casting include a "cute and quirky" twentysomething named Jenny, who will be a major recurring guest star and will first appear in episode two, while the other is a new African-American student at McKinley High School. Both roles will require singing.

Earlier this month, it was announced that Mark Salling, Heather Morris, Amber Riley, Harry Shum Jr. and Dianna Agron will not be returning as regulars, but they could potentially return for guest appearances.

Bumped up to series regulars are Jacob Artist, Melissa Benoist, Becca Tobin and Blake Jenner, who all first appeared in season four as new members of New Directions.

Glee was scheduled to go into production on the new season at the end of July and was expected to premiere on Sept. 19. Fox has yet to make an announcement regarding any changes to the show's return date.

"Everyone is in shock," source who works on the show told E! News. "To say that Cory was much loved on the Glee set doesn't even begin to do him justice."
