In an interview with Rolling Stonefrom his home in Cape Town, South Africa, Dean's 21-year-old brother, Alex Jacobs, says that Dean began experiencing "mild" symptoms while staying with her partner, Luke Volker, in New York City. As she began feeling worse, Jacobs says, she asked Volker to transport her to an emergency room, where she died hours later. He notes that her cause of her death is still pending an autopsy that was underway on Wednesday.
As the family awaits results of Dean's autopsy, Jacobs speculates that her death may have stemmed from a "very, very bad car accident" she was involved in around 2009 that left her with a broken back, and broken ribs, among other ailments.
"They removed her spleen. It’s involved in fighting off infections, and that could have had something to do what happened. Her spleen not being there just added on to the reason why she perhaps couldn’t fight it off," he says.
