TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (Reuters) -- The body of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, the
member of the chart-topping American R&B trio TLC killed last week in a
Honduras car crash, will be sent to the United States after an autopsy, the
U.S. Embassy said Sunday.
"The autopsy needs to be completed, so it will be Tuesday or Wednesday when
the remains of Lisa Lopes leave for the United States," embassy spokesman
Gregory Adams told Reuters. Her body was expected to be sent to Atlanta,
Georgia.
Lopes died in a hospital from fractures and internal injuries suffered when
the sport utility vehicle she was driving with eight passengers flipped off
a road in northern Honduras, police said.
The passengers, all U.S. citizens, were injured, some seriously, and
remained hospitalized.
Investigators say the crash Thursday was caused by speeding.
Local newspaper La Tribuna said the accident occurred when Lopes was
returning from a health center that treats chronic illnesses with natural
methods.
Lopes, who provided the raps for TLC, made headlines in 1994 when she was
arrested for burning down the house of then-boyfriend Andre Rison, a former
Atlanta Falcons football player. She was sentenced to five years of
probation, and then entered rehab for a drinking problem.
Atlanta-based TLC burst onto the music scene 10 years ago with its debut
album, "Oooooooh...On the TLC Tip." Its 1994 follow-up, "CrazySexyCool,"
brought the group mainstream success, with help from the multimillion-dollar
video for the ballad "Waterfalls." The album won TLC Grammys for best R&B
album and R&B performance ("Creep").
The group's 1999 album "FanMail" topped the U.S. pop charts and sold more
than 8 million copies.

Then I don't see how she can possibly be dead.
She'll be so relieved.

It's OK. She never heard of you, either.

Sheesh, the facts are different in every article I read. She died
instantly, died at the scene, died en route and now died in the hospital.
There were 7 passengers, there were 8, there were 9. All passengers were
uninjured, treated at the scene, treated and released, or are all still
hospitalized.
I'm just so glad we know what's going on.

Also, still yet to come:
What illness did she have that required her to go to Honduras to have
treated?

Her "illness" was a quest to find someone who could give her spiritual renewal.
Did she get what she asked for or what?

Yes, I find this strange, too. Maybe it's Honduran law. Or something very
suspicious might have turned up.

She suffered from Sickle Cell Anemia.
No that is T-Bonz (Rolanda I think is her real name)

Oops, my mistake...
I'm sorry, but a mandatory Honduran autopsy on an American celebrity. How
long will it take for those photos to appear in the National Enquirer...or
Hustler?

You're both mistaken. Rozonda is "Chilli" and Tionne is "T-Boz."

Had to be drug addiction.
The toxicological report will come back finding enormous amounts of alcohol,
cocaine, xanax and all that other shit that young clueless dimbulb undeserving pop
stars like to "recreationally" use.

Another accident waiting to happen. In a few weeks, we will all forget about
her.

Does anybody have any idea who was in the car with her? 9 people in an SUV?
Man, even if it was a Navigator, there should only have been 8 at the most.

It was the next size up from the Ford Expedition, known as
Ford Annexation.

That's VERY funny.

How lucky of you. The rest of us were cursed w/ her "music" for quite
some time.
I've actually been surprised to the number of posts for this one. I've heard of
them and find them nothing special musically. C'est la vie.
