Americas Got Talent contestant Emily Gold died Friday at age 17 after she and her dance teammates of Los Osos High School in California impressed judge Simon Cowell in recent episodes.
It is with such a heavy heart that we share the passing of our beautiful, kind, and loving Emily Gold, Senior and Varsity Dance Captain, the LOHS varsity dance team wrote on Instagram . Emily has always embodied every aspect of our core team values through her strength, commitment, kindness, compassion, and the most humble heart.
Golds death was deemed a suicide by the San Bernardino Country coroner, People reported .
The high-energy troupe from the Rancho Cucamonga school seized Cowells attention in the audition round. He called them absolutely brilliant in a clip of their act below.
What I loved about this was first of all the energy, he said. And I think what I just saw is everything a great school should be doing, which is encouraging talent, friendship. It reminded me of when I saw those High School Musical movies and thinking every kid should go to a school like that.
