An investigation into Russo’s death is currently underway, according to the San Diego PD.

Not much is known about the star, except that she was one of the three couples on VH1’s reality show, “The X-Life,” which aired in 2011 and chronicled the lives of extreme sports competitors and their partners.

At the time of the show’s broadcast, Russo was dating professional skateboarder Pierre-Luc Gagnon, with whom she had a son, although the two had reportedly split before her death.

Russo regularly uploaded glamour shots of herself on Instagram with her last post coming just days before her death.

Friends and fans were devastated over her loss. “My angel. I’m sorry for all your pain, be at peace now,” wrote one mourner.

“I don’t understand. So beautiful. But battling all those demons,” mourned another. “Had to be awful. No more living in your car. No more using.”
