After false reports of her death circulated on social media, her sister, Kayy Jayy, clarified in a public post that her sister was alive, saying, "Please ignore the false reports. My sister is fine."[16] However, at 2:26 a.m. on June 11, Larry was pronounced dead at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Texas,[17] after being removed from life support due to complications from an alleged overdose.
