She died as a result of drug overdose.

Lupe Vélez began her career in Mexican cinema in the late 1920s and quickly became known for her beauty and charming on-screen presence. She gained popularity in Hollywood during the 1930s and starred in films such as "The Gaucho" (1927), "Laughing Boy" (1934), and "The Girl from Mexico" (1939). Vélez was also known for her temperamental nature off-screen, which often caused conflicts with directors and co-stars.

Tragically, Vélez's life was cut short when she died by suicide at the age of 36. As rumors circulated about the circumstances of her death, they were largely debunked in the biography "Lupe Velez: The Life and Career of Hollywood's "Mexican Spitfire" by Michelle Vogel, which was published in 2012. Regardless of the rumors, Vélez remains a memorable and influential figure in Hollywood history.
