The 57-year-old's cause of death remains unknown, as reported by Variety.
Del Rio made a cameo appearance in the film and was part of a scene shot at the Club Silencio in Los Angeles.
In the scene, she belted out the Spanish-language track, which is known as "Crying" in English, before collapsing on the ground.
She was carried out of the theater but she continued singing.

Del Rio later revealed she sung the track, rather than lip-synced, according to Indie Wire.
'Because I am a natural-born singer, and I don't know how to lip-sync, I sang along for every take of that scene,' she told the outlet.
'I've seen lip-syncing in a lot of films and television and have noticed the vibrato in their throats is not moving.
'It's pretty apparent that they're not really singing.'

Del Rio revealed it took several takes to shoot the scene, and didn't lip sync on any occasion.
Fans on X have claimed the scene is perhaps the "greatest" in cinematic history.
Del Rio also performed at a Mulholland Drive charity event.
Naomi Watts and Justin Theroux also starred in Mulholland Drive, directed by David Lynch.

The movie was nominated for four Golden Globes in 2001, including Best Picture (Drama), Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Original Score.

Lynch picked up the Best Director gong at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, and he was nominated for an Oscar.
Del Rio also appeared in the comedy thriller Southland Tales and performed the US national anthem.

She also performed the track No Stars in Twin Peaks The Return.

Cape Point Well, the water just below it. In crayfish season (what's left of it), sustainable fishing (read: you won't catch much) is still spectacular off Cape Point. Floating just offshore, with the monumental cliffs rising up to the two lighthouses, it's all deeply humbling. Looking at those millions of stairs, you would also feel very sorry for the lighthouse keeper who forgot his keys in the lighthouse when he got back to his car. Even better, if you do manage to catch a legal-size crayfish, the ever-hospitable innkeepers at the old Glencairn Hotel might cook it for you while you sip a cold Hansa. A very special day out. Rare Grill Rare Grill – and the curiously named BAA pub above it – are in Kenilworth, just on the 'wrong side of the tracks', as they say. A few-time winner of the Wolftrap Steakhouse of the Year (think: Stormers silverware, elusive), it's home to some of the best meat in Cape Town. Run by Greg Bax, Rare Grill is always outstanding, and upstairs BAA is one of the southern suburbs' more eventful bars. No craft beer, no tattoos, no nonsense. I haven't been upstairs. The Daisy Jones Bar Marcus runs this hidden gem with a cheerful sort of chaos. The Daisy Jones Bar is possibly the best live music venue around. Catch Francois van Coke, Jack Parow or Spoegwolf here and you're in for an unforgettable night, though remembering it might be another story. Olympic Sports Club Nobody knows about it, and that's how the members like it. There's not much sport beyond billiards and the occasional squash match among the under-80s. Think old English gentlemen's club and 120 years of history, with a menu of Salticrax, Marmite, and Peck's Anchovette. Membership required, but not impossible. There's still a rotary phone by the door. Go while the flag's still up. A treasure. Avonwood Sports Ground, Elsies River Don't leave your laptop on the car seat (but then, don't in Green Point either). This was the home ground of my old rugby club, Northern Avonwood. In a community facing immense challenges, the passion for the game and the warmth on the sidelines is moving. It's a raw reminder of both the best and the worst of Cape Town. Also, a decent venue for a quart. Oceana Power Boat Club Wedged in among the creeping gentrification and rising affluence, Oceana has held firm for the everyman. That it's still here is something worth celebrating. It's a brilliant spot to launch, whether you're skiing, heading to Robben Island, or mooring off Clifton. Old-school clubhouse vibes, great hospitality, and a R42 brandy and Coke for those inclined. Addis in Cape Ethiopian food is a perennial favourite of my wife's and mine. She says it's because I can eat with my hands. But it's also about the city centre: colourful, vibrant, alive. Addis in Cape is a fail-safe dinner spot. Il Leone Mastrantonio Run by the disreputable Daniel, Tintin and the crew, Il Leone is the coach's favourite. The walls can't talk (thankfully), but they're covered in art, and the Italian food is superb. Best lunch spot in town. Just don't get towed. 12 Cobern Street, Green Point Plum Pudding Not a dessert, but a Newlands walking route. In these post-Covid days, parking at the old zoo and hiking up the lower slopes of Devil's Peak to the contour path and around Plum Pudding is a wilder, windier experience. Less gentrified, more raw nature. The views – from Green Point to Muizenberg – are unforgettable, as is the looming presence of UCT below. De Villiers Dam Start hiking from Constantia Nek. At the top of the jeep track, past the Overseers Cottage, this is one of Cape Town's great secret walks. No swimming allowed, but the journey itself is the draw: microclimates, stone trails, and panoramic views. An ideal day out for wandering minds and strong legs. Carla's What a lady. Possibly the smallest menu in Cape Town, definitely one of the tastiest. Centred on Mozambican prawns and run by a totally eccentric, utterly brilliant hostess. In a world of franchises and restaurant groups, Carla's is a one-of-a-kind gem. If you don't like it, lump it. 9 York Road, Muizenberg Hantam Vleisfees Nowhere near Cape Town, but bear with me. These small-town agricultural festivals are national treasures, and Calvinia's Hantam Vleisfees is the best of them. You can eat every single part of the sheep (and I mean every part) in an atmosphere of unfiltered rural hospitality. Through the Tankwa you go: accommodation is rustic, music is live, and nothing has changed since 1962. Worth every dusty kilometre. Sandy Bay Let me be clear: for the wakeboarding, not the beach. The beach is fine, but the real joy is out in the water where you'll find some of the best wakeboarding conditions around, with tropical-blue (but freezing) seas. The setting is wild and rugged. As for binoculars? Well, that's your business.

Club World Cup star's WAG fumes after run-in with police inside stadium
Karoline Lima, the girlfriend of Flamengo star Leo Pereira, was left fuming during the Brazilian side's 1-1 draw against Los Angeles FC in the FIFA Club World Cup but not for the reason you may think Influencer Karoline Lima was left fuming with police after watching her footballer boyfriend Leo Pereira play for Flamengo in the FIFA Club World Cup. The Brazilian WAG - who has almost six million followers on Instagram - has been a regular attendee of the matches in the United States. After watching the Brazilian side draw 1-1 with Los Angeles FC at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando which saw Flamengo claim top spot in Group D, pipping Chelsea by a point, controversy ensued inside the arena. Taking to her Instagram stories, Lima revealed that she was almost thrown out of the stadium by US police who approached her after the full-time whistle blew. According to the authorities, the influencer was not wearing a wristband that allows access in a section of the venue which is reserved for the players' families. "You don't understand, but I almost got kicked out," she said in the video. "When the game ends, Leonardo asks us to wait there so he can talk to us where we're sitting. Then out of nowhere, a bunch of police arrived, saying things in English, right?" Lima added that she attempted to explain that she was in fact family as she continued: "And I said, 'No, my friends, calm down. Let's talk. I'm family'. They said you had to have a wristband. All the family members have wristbands. Then the confusion started, everyone saying: 'Yes, she's family'. It was a big deal." Despite the stressful ordeal, the situation was resolved as Lima was eventually given a wristband. The drama at the Camping World Stadium wasn't an isolated incident for the influencer who also almost lost her bag after an argument with security prior to kick-off. The red heart-shaped bag, which has been labelled as lucky by fans due to her holding it during several Flamengo wins, was almost confiscated before the clash against LAFC due to bags not being allowed in stadiums in the United States. "The woman wanted to confiscate my heart-shaped bag," Lima revealed. "Here in the United States, they don't allow bags into stadiums. In fact, they have a size chart for permitted bags, and it's really small. I arrived here, and the woman wanted to confiscate my bag. I said, 'No, love. It will not be touched.' I took my bag and left. Here it is!" The bag certainly worked its magic as Flamengo clinched a vital point through Wallace Yan's 86th minute equaliser to ensure top spot in the group as they progress to the knockout stages of the global competition. The Brazilian giants - who defeated the Blues 3-1 in their second game of the tournament - face a tough test against Bayern Munich on Sunday. A quarter-final clash against the winner of Inter Miami vs Paris Saint-Germain awaits should they get past the German champions.
