A man accused of stalking singer Billie Eilish has been killed by a train in New York. Prenell Rousseau, 32, was struck by a train in the Bronx on Friday, March 27, 2026, according to the New York City Police Department.

Eilish has not publicly commented on the incident, but her team has released a statement expressing their sadness at the news. "We are deeply saddened by the news of Prenell Rousseau's passing," the statement read. "Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time."

Rousseau was facing charges of stalking and harassment in connection with the incident, and was due to appear in court on April 1, 2026. The incident is a tragic reminder of the dangers of stalking and harassment, and the importance of taking action to protect oneself and others.
