Kylie Jenner's Hairstylist Cause of Death Revealed 3 Months After His Passing
Kylie Jenner's late hairstylist, Jesus Guerrero's cause of death, has been revealed three months after his tragic passing. Per a report from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, published this week, the celebrity hairdresser died of natural causes. Guerrero contracted two infections — pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) and disseminated cryptococcus neoformans — which are both caused by fungus, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The medical examiner listed the secondary cause of death as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. Guerrero died in February at age 34. His sister, Gris Guerrero, spoke to Us Weekly in March and said that her brother was diagnosed with gastritis months back and was very private about his health. 'People who saw him said, 'You need to get rest and help,' and he seemed to believe he could push through it and get better and unfortunately that wasn't the case,'' she told the outlet. Besides being part of The Kardashians star's glam team, Jesus was also a close friend to her. Following Jesus' passing, Gris created a GoFundMe page — and was moved when Jenner, 27, reached out to help financially. 'Our family deeply appreciates Kylie for later offering to cover funeral expenses and offering up all her help and support,' Gris wrote. The Khy founder, along with Jennifer Lopez, another one of Jesus' A-list clients, attended the funeral, which took place in Houston in March. Jenner posted about how much she missed Jesus on her Instagram Story last month. 'Think about u every day,' she wrote on a photo of Jesus cooking in the kitchen with her and her daughter Stormi, 7, whom she shares with her ex Travis Scott. She also made a heartfelt tribute to Jesus on the app in February after news of his death broke. 'Jesus was more than my friend – he was a light in my life, a source of laughter, comfort, love, and unwavering support,' she wrote in part. 'I don't know how I would have made it through the last almost decade without him by my side. He had a way of making even the heaviest days feel lighter.'

Homeless deaths in L.A. County are leveling off but still nearly seven per day
Los Angeles County health officials reported a second consecutive year of moderate increases in homeless deaths, adding evidence that a surge that raised the mortality rate 56% over the previous two years has leveled off. But homeless mortality remained persistently high with an average of 6.9 deaths daily in 2023, the year covered in the most recent report. Overall, homeless people died at 4.5 times the rate of the whole population. During the year, 2,508 people died on the streets and in shelters, up 5.6% over the prior year. Because that period's homeless count increased, the mortality rate — calculated as 3,326 deaths per 100,000 people — increased less, at 1.3%. That was an improvement over the 2.1% increase in 2022. The rate of drug and alcohol overdose deaths fell slightly but remained the leading cause, accounting for 45% of all deaths. Of those, 70% involved the synthetic opioid fentanyl. Coronary disease was the second leading cause, accounting for 14% of deaths, a figure that was up by 22%. Transportation accidents remained steady in third place overall, but the second leading cause for women. On average, one homeless person was killed in a vehicle accident every other day. Homicides, in fourth place, fell 25%. Men were more likely than women to die from all causes, making up 68% of the population but 82% of deaths. Sixty-two percent of deaths were among those younger than 55, a phenomenon attributed to the younger group's higher overdose rate. Mortality was highest for whites who were 19% of the population but accounted for 32% of all deaths. Black people and Latinos each had fewer deaths than their proportion of the population. The sixth report on homeless mortality by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health described the current trend as a plateau. It attributed the improvement partly to a threefold increase in the distribution of naxalone, an overdose reversal medication, from 2021 through 2023 and other mental health and substance-use treatment services. Nearly 479,000 doses of naxalone were distributed in 2024, it said. The report listed 17 recommendations falling under four categories: rapid access to housing and shelter; expanded overdose prevention; physical, mental health and substance use treatment; and collaboration with municipalities and unincorporated communities to reduce traffic deaths. The calculation of homeless mortality rates is inherently unstable. It relies on fluctuating annual counts of the homeless population that have built-in error and on imperfect means of identifying deaths of homeless people. The deaths are drawn primarily from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's records of accidental and violent cases. Other deaths are obtained from a search of the state database of death certificates. The year-over-year increase in 2023 may have been inflated by an improvement in the state data with the addition of a homeless checkbox. State data contributed 12% of the identified deaths, more than in any previous year. This year's report also included a footnote indicating that the initial 2022 finding of a leveling off of the overdose rate had to be revised upward due to a backlog of toxicology tests at the time of publication that the medical examiner later determined to be drug-related. A smaller backlog could also change the 2023 result, but to a lesser extent, it said. The homeless counts are averaged over two years to estimate a mid-year number. This year's report used a three-year average due to the cancellation of the 2021 count during the coronavirus pandemic.

'General Hospital' star Leslie Charleson's cause of death released
A month after the death of "General Hospital" star Leslie Charleson was confirmed, more details are emerging about the circumstances surrounding her death. Records from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirm that Charleson's cause of death was "sequelae of blunt head trauma," meaning traumatic brain injury. While the case remains open, the office determined the death to be an accident. Charleson, a soap opera veteran best known for playing Monica Quartermaine on "General Hospital," died on Jan. 12, the show's producer Frank Valentini confirmed. She was 79. "It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of my dear friend and colleague, Leslie Charleson," Valentini wrote on Instagram. "Her enduring legacy has spanned nearly 50 years on 'General Hospital' alone and, just as Monica was the heart of the Quartermaines, Leslie was a beloved matriarch of the entire cast and crew.

On behalf of everyone at 'General Hospital,' my heartfelt sympathy goes out to her loved ones during this difficult time." Charleson made her "General Hospital" debut as Dr. Quartermaine in 1977 and went on to appear in more than 2,000 episodes over nearly five decades, according to the actress's IMDb page. Before joining "General Hospital," Charleson cut her teeth as an actress on TV dramas such as "A Flame in the Wind" and "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing." She also appeared in several other series throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, including "As the World Turns," "N.Y.P.D.," "The Rookies" and "Marcus Welby, M.D." Over the years, Charleson reprised her "General Hospital" role on the show's spin-offs "Port Charles" and "General Hospital: Night Shift." In the late '90s and early 2000s, Charleson didn't venture far beyond Port Charles, making the occasional guest appearance on sitcoms such as "Dharma & Greg" and "Friends." Charleson's final appearance on "General Hospital" was the December 2023 episode "Everything You Ever Wanted," per IMDb.
