朱莉娅•罗伯茨同母异父妹妹服药过量死亡

    The half-sister of Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts died from a possible drug overdose*, the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office said on Monday.

    Nancy Motes, 37, was found dead in a bathtub* full of water at a Los Angeles residence on Sunday, L.A. County Coroner spokesman Captain John Kades said.

    Prescription drugs were found at the residence, which was not Motes’s home. Kades said nothing has been ruled out, including an accidental drug overdose or a suicidal* overdose. He added that indications of a suicide note had been found at the residence.

    Motes is the half sister of Oscar-winner Roberts and her brother, Eric Roberts, also an actor. She was born to their mother.

    Representatives for both Julia Roberts and Eric Roberts did not respond for comment.

    In a statement to People magazine, the Roberts family said they were “shocked and devastated” by Motes’ death.

    “It is with deep sadness that the family of Nancy Motes ... confirms that she was found dead in Los Angeles of an apparent drug overdose,” the family said.
