Earlier today, reports surfaced that a Hollywood actress was shot and killed by the Los Angeles Police Department responding to a call at 2 pm. Now we’ve heard the news that the actress ended up being ‘ER’ actress Vanessa Marquez.
Police were called to the 1100 Block of Fremont Avenue in South Pasadena just before 2 p.m. local time on Thursday to perform a welfare check. Upon arrival, Marquez, 49, was having seizures and appeared to be suffering from mental issues, officials told CNN.
After about 90-minutes of trying to offer Marquez medical help, police said she armed herself with what appeared to be a handgun and police opened fire.
The weapon turned out to be a BB gun, investigators said.
Marquez was best known for her role as Nurse Wendy Goldman on 3 seasons of ‘ER’ from 1994 through to 1997 and was also in Seinfeld for a short stint as well. She was 49 years old when she passed away and our thoughts and prayers are with her family.
