Mario Anzuoni / REUTERSA man who previously stalked Billie Eilish, 24, was killed after being struck by a Long Island Rail Road train in the early hours of Wednesday. Prenell Rousseau, 30, died after being hit while jogging “on or near” the tracks in Westbury, New York, around 5:38 a.m., according to the New York Post, which cited officials who deemed the death accidental.
The collision disrupted service, forcing roughly 100 passengers aboard the train to transfer to another LIRR line, the outlet reported. The Farmingdale native had previously been the subject of a restraining order filed by Eilish in 2020 after he repeatedly showed up at her family home in Los Angeles. Court filings described his behavior as “erratic,” noting he appeared at the property multiple times over two days, asking if the singer lived there. “While we waited for security, Mr. Rousseau remained on our porch, sat down and began to read a book while also continuing to engage in a periodic monologue,” Eilish said in court documents. Her family asked him to leave, but Prenell refused. A judge later granted a three-year restraining order.
