AceShowbiz - Billie Eilish has been linked to an incident involving a man accused of stalking her, who died after being struck by a train in New York. Prenell Rousseau, 30, was reportedly jogging near the Long Island Rail Road tracks when the fatal accident occurred. Local authorities have indicated that the death appears accidental, with no immediate evidence suggesting foul play.
Rousseau had a documented history of alleged stalking behavior directed at Billie Eilish. Court records from 2020 reveal that he was arrested after repeatedly showing up uninvited at the singer’s residence. According to these documents, Rousseau visited the home on multiple occasions. During one visit, he rang the doorbell and spoke with Billie Eilish’s father through a surveillance camera, insisting that he was supposed to be there, though the family stated he had the wrong address.
Further reports from the court filings describe Rousseau’s behavior as erratic. On the same day of his first visit, he returned that evening and remained on the porch. Despite repeated requests from Billie Eilish’s father to leave, Rousseau refused, prompting the family to hire private security for protection. The singer, who was 18 years old at the time, expressed fear for her family’s safety.
Following these incidents, Rousseau was legally ordered to maintain a distance from Billie Eilish and her family, including a prohibition on any contact. The court documents emphasize the distress caused by Rousseau’s alleged stalking and the impact it had on the singer and her household.
Authorities have not released detailed information regarding the circumstances leading up to Rousseau’s presence near the train tracks on the morning of his death. No official statements have yet been made by the family of Billie Eilish in response to the news.
As investigations continue, officials maintain that Rousseau’s death was accidental and have not suggested any connection between the incident and intentional harm.
