Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt actress Lisa Lynn Masters has died. She was 52.
“As to her husband and family’s wishes, we hope that the industry can mourn her death without details. In these darkening days, we hope those who have had the pleasure of knowing her will see how brightly she shined and will find that light within themselves and continue to share it with others — just as she would have,” her agent Christopher Silveri said in a statement emailed to USA TODAY.
The actress was found dead in her hotel room in Peru following an apparent suicide. A Lima newspaper, Peru21, reported that her body was found in the capital on Tuesday. The paper said she was in Peru to take part in a modeling event, apparently hanged herself with a skirt.
A Go Fund Me page has been set up to help the family with expenses and has already raised over $35,000.
