52-year-old actress, Lisa Lynn Masters took her own life during a trip to Peru.
Christopher D Silveri, Masters’ agent, confirmed the news of her death:
'As to her husband and family's wishes, we hope that the industry can mourn her death without details.
'In these darkening days, we hope those who have had the pleasure of knowing her will see how brightly she shined and will find that light within themselves and continue to share it with others - just as she would have.'
Masters was found dead in her hotel room closet, after hanging herself. According to local news reports by Peru21, she was battling depression. Anti-depressants and two letters that suggested she was struggling were found in her room.
The actress appeared in TV shows: Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Ugly Betty, Gossip Girl and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
Her friends set up a GoFundMe page, to raise money that will help cover travel and funeral expenses, as Lisa’s husband William Brooks, faces financial constraints.
