She was found dead in her Staten Island home along with her 8-year-old daughter Sibora Nini and 60-year-old mother Azbije. The three died due to an accidental carbon monoxide poisoning after boiler ventilators in the basement were stuffed with plastic bags to keep out concrete from construction work.[4] Her husband, Luan Prapaniku, had recently died from cancer.
At the time of her death, she was in the process of recording two albums, one in Albanian and one in English.[3][5]
