Man Accused of Stalking Billie Eilish Killed by Train in New York

Prenell Rousseau, 30, was struck by a Long Island Rail Road train while jogging near tracks; authorities classify the death as accidental with no foul play indicated.

  • Prenell Rousseau, 30, was struck and killed by an LIRR train in Westbury, New York around 5:38 a.m. on Wednesday, according to local officials. He was reportedly jogging "on or near" the tracks when the fatal accident occurred.
  • Years before his death, Rousseau targeted singer Billie Eilish at her Los Angeles home, allegedly approaching the residence seven times over two days in early May 2020. His repeated visits prompted security concerns.
  • Eilish described Rousseau's behavior as "erratic," noting he sat on her porch reading while refusing to leave. Court documents show Eilish was 18 at the time, leading her family to pursue legal protection.
  • A judge granted Eilish a three-year restraining order against Rousseau, mandating he maintain a distance of at least 100 yards from the singer and her parents. Eilish's attorney had requested five years.
  • Investigators noted Rousseau's Instagram account featured a drawing resembling Eilish with the message, "Anyway, I love u b...that is all." The discovery marked a concluded chapter in the singer's legal history.
