Eminem’s sister-in-law ‘dies after heroin overdose’

Rapper Eminem is stated to be in shock after the body of his ex-wife’s twin sister Dawn Scott, 40, was found dead of a reported drug overdose.

Police in Warren, Michigan confirmed the news to Radar Online and reportedly stated the cause of death as “an apparent heroin overdose, pending a toxicology test”.

“Although she has been overcome by grief, Kim, 41, found the strength to post a tribute to Dawn on Lee Ellena Funeral Home’s website, where she left a touching message about her “beautiful” sister who” lost her way”.

In an interview with Radar Online previous year, the often-homeless Scott expressed her frustration in being denied financial assistance from Eminem’s estimated $170 million fortune, even though the rapper hasn’t been married to Dawn’s sister for a decade.

“One night I called my sister and told her I had nowhere to go”, Scott told the site last summer.

After running away from home, Dawn and Kim moved in with Eminem and his mother when he was just 15, and he kicked off his romance with Kim back in 1989. “Scott signed her daughter over to Eminem with the notion that he would allow her to talk to her on weekends, but she said, “…

“I’ve been trying like hell to save her life”, he said. “Don’t bother me, ‘ and hung up”. Prior to her death, Dawn’s addictions were said to have become so bad that she was “doing any kind of drugs she could get her hands on”, according to her ex-boyfriend, Les Martin, with whom she lived on-and-off with for the past four years. Dawn had reportedly prior requested for help from her former bother-in-law and sister. I miss her and love her more than anything I could ever say.
