Kupcinet was found dead at her home in West Hollywood, California on November 28, 1963 at the age of 22.[1] Drugs were found next to her body,[2] however in an autopsy found evidence of her being strangled.[3]

Since her death happened five days after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, her death has been part of many conspiracy theories.[4]
