A stalker who was previously arrested for stalking Billie Eilish has died after he was hit by a train.
As reported by the New York Post, Prenell Rousseau was killed after an LIRR train hit him in Long Island on Wednesday, March 25. According to law enforcement, the incident happened at about 5:38am ET.
Rousseau was jogging "on or near" the tracks when the train struck him. The death appears to be accidental.
Rousseau had a spotted history with famous singer Billie Eilish. In 2020, Rousseau was arrested after appearing at the singer's home several times. After that, she and her family managed to get a protection order against him.
Rousseau had posted about Billie Eilish several times on his Instagram account before his death. It got particularly bad after the singer got a restraining order against him. A post showed an illustrated picture of the singer along with the caption "Anyway - I love u b ... that is all."
In court documents, Billie Eilish explained that Rousseau was "erratic" when he showed up to her home. This happened seven times in the span of two days before he was finally arrested for trespassing.
The first time he appeared, he rang the doorbell and repeatedly asked Billie Eilish's father whether she lived there. He kept coming back, by which time the Eilish family had summoned their private security.

Billie Eilish Explained How the Stalker Affected Her in Court Documents
In court documents, Billie Eilish explained the effects that Rousseau had on her.
"While we waited for security, Mr. Rousseau remained on our porch, sat down, and began to read a book whilst also continuing to engage in a periodic monologue. My father repeatedly asked him to leave, but he refused," she explained.
Billie Eilish also went on to explain that her family was really quite scared of Rousseau. Because not only was he sitting there reading a book and refusing to leave, but he wasn't wearing a face mask while doing so. He also tried to touch the doorknob without any gloves. This was in the middle of 2020, at the height of the pandemic. Can you blame her?
