The 57-year-old's cause of death remains unknown, as reported by Variety.
Del Rio made a cameo appearance in the film and was part of a scene shot at the Club Silencio in Los Angeles.
In the scene, she belted out the Spanish-language track, which is known as "Crying" in English, before collapsing on the ground.
She was carried out of the theater but she continued singing.

Del Rio later revealed she sung the track, rather than lip-synced, according to Indie Wire.
'Because I am a natural-born singer, and I don't know how to lip-sync, I sang along for every take of that scene,' she told the outlet.
'I've seen lip-syncing in a lot of films and television and have noticed the vibrato in their throats is not moving.
'It's pretty apparent that they're not really singing.'

Del Rio revealed it took several takes to shoot the scene, and didn't lip sync on any occasion.
Fans on X have claimed the scene is perhaps the "greatest" in cinematic history.
Del Rio also performed at a Mulholland Drive charity event.
Naomi Watts and Justin Theroux also starred in Mulholland Drive, directed by David Lynch.

The movie was nominated for four Golden Globes in 2001, including Best Picture (Drama), Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Original Score.
Watts won the best actress award at the National Society of Film Critics for her performance as Betty Elms and Diane Selwyn.
Lynch picked up the Best Director gong at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, and he was nominated for an Oscar.
Del Rio also appeared in the comedy thriller Southland Tales and performed the US national anthem.

She also performed the track No Stars in Twin Peaks The Return.

Best new mobile games on iOS and Android – July 2025 round-up
July is a bumper month for smartphone games, including the all-new Persona 5: The Phantom X for iOS and Android. Although the summer months are traditionally a period when video game release schedules enter their version of hibernation, on mobile things are still bustling. Supercell in particular have been busy, with a major update for the ailing Boom Beach and an even bigger one for Clash Royale; that adds a new turn-based auto battler game mode based on Clash Mini, a game the developer abandoned last year following a multi-country test launch. Also out this month is the English subtitled version of Persona 5: The Phantom X, which is far from ruined by the addition of light gacha mechanics; the Apple Arcade version of Kingdom Rush 5: Alliance TD; and a fresh outing in the excellent Meteorfall deck builder series, Rustbowl Rumble. iOS, free – full game £4.99 (SMG Studios) Marooning you light years from Earth, No Way Home is a twin stick shooter with role-playing elements, blending exploration and shooting with an addictive drip feed of upgrades for your ship, each of which looks, sounds, and feels satisfyingly consequential. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. Appropriately for a game focused on shooting, weapons handling and the feel of piloting your ship are refined and responsive, working perfectly on touchscreen and obviating the need for a Bluetooth controller. Although the majority of missions boil down to flying somewhere and shooting up a bunch of aliens, the wry script and voice acting help provide a solid distraction, in this polished and hugely entertaining mobile port, that was previously only available to Apple Arcade subscribers. Score: 8/10 iOS, free – full game £6.99 (Luke Muscat) Borrowing some of its mechanics from the relatively little known Ocean Keeper: Dome Survival, Feed The Deep has you diving into darkened, procedurally generated 2D cave systems in search of a giant beast, and a morsel to drop into its maw. To do that you'll need to power up your diver, boosting oxygen tanks, swimming speed, and the ability to drag heavier loads of treasure to the surface with you, using bombs to blast new paths through the subterranean water-filled maze. With a gradually escalating sense of difficulty and complexity, the sense of progression, as you tease the secrets out of each labyrinth while making sure you don't accidentally drown or get eaten by squid-like monsters, proves compelling. Score: 8/10 iOS & Android, free (Sega) Already out in open beta for a year in Asia, The Phantom X worldwide release retains the original Japanese voice acting, but now features well translated English subtitles, in a game that retains the style and gameplay of the long running Persona franchise. It effortlessly blends mundane secondary school shenanigans with more fantastical goings on, while maintaining the series' mechanically involved turn-based combat, albeit adding gacha microtransactions, which for once feels relatively inoffensive. The only time its monetisation gets in the way is deliberate level gating that forces you either to pay or endure days of relatively uninspiring grind, a process that's additionally hampered by the slowly regenerating stamina that governs whether you can collect rewards at the end of levels. Still, if you love Persona, this supplies a new set of interesting characters and successfully translates the flair of Persona 5 into a portable format, although it also features cross-save functionality with the PC version. Score: 7/10 iOS & Android, free trial – full game £9.99 (Noodlecake) Originally released on PC nearly a decade ago, the wonderfully named Ultimate Chicken Horse is an absurdist party game for two to four players. Starting on the left of the screen, each player grabs a prop, which could be a door, a platform, a deadly spiked ball, or any number of other comedy objects, to position it on the screen. The aim is to collaborate in building a path to the goal on the right of the screen, while making it as hard as possible for other players to get there with you. Its fast-paced gameplay and cute hand-animated art style emphasise the humour, but playing against online opponents removes the fun and banter of same-screen couch multiplayer. Although local play is possible, all of you will need to buy the game, cranking the cost up to untenable levels. It's a great game but one that's not well suited to mobile. Score: 6/10 iOS, included with Apple Arcade subscription (Ironhide Studios) Ironhide Studios' Kingdom Rush series is the unchallenged king of tower defence games, letting you build and upgrade turrets while also commanding heroes, spells, and support troops that you can guide individually around the battlefield. Outside battle you'll be selecting buffs and new skills for your heroes and towers, and purchasing consumables to get you out of any especially tight spots you might encounter. The only thing that used to rankle about Kingdom Rush: Alliance TD was its insistence on trying to flog you add-ons – including heroes that would otherwise be inaccessible – even though it was already a paid-for game. The Apple Arcade version naturally nixes all that, instantly making it the definite version of the game. Score: 8/10 iOS & Android, £6.99 (Slothwerks) More Trending Rustbowl Rumble is the latest deck builder to emerge in the gradually expanding Meteorfall franchise. Like its predecessors, this is a turn-based card battler, but this time fights involve up to four pugilists on each team. As well as paying careful attention to the turn order, to make sure your attacks, defences, and healing occur in time to be useful, there are also wild cards that change the rules for a single turn, and feats demanded by the crowd, which can bring fairly hefty bonuses if you manage to complete them. There's such a huge range of combinations of brawlers, perks, attacks, status effects, and buffs that you'll keep discovering new approaches to even after many hours of play. A genuinely deep and complex mobile strategy game, with pleasing handcrafted visuals. Score: 8/10 Email gamecentral@ leave a comment below, follow us on Twitter.

Love Island star ‘goes missing' on Aftersun as fans worry she's been axed from spin-off show
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans were left worried after a star 'went missing' from spin-off Aftersun. Broadcast live from London, the show delivers juicy exclusives, behind-the-scenes gossip and big laughs. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Love Island Aftersun fans feared one of the stars has been axed Credit: ITV 4 Ash, Joe and Amy were on the panel - but there was one absence Credit: ITV 4 Former islander Indiyah Polack has gone to have a huge career Credit: Getty However, fans were disappointed by one star's absence from the latest episode. Indiyah Polack rose to fame in the eighth series of the long-running dating show in 2022. The 26-year-old came in third place with Dami Hope and has gone on to have a huge career outside the villa. The reality personality is the co-host of the official podcast, Love Island: The Morning After with fellow former islander Amy Hart. One wrote on X: "Where is indiyah? "You guys best not be thinking about replacing her we want her on every show dont ruin it #loveislandaftersun #LoveIsland." Another added: "I don't like it when Indiyah is not on this show." Last month, Indiyah opened up about who she still speaks to from her series. When asked who she'd invite to a reunion, she told The Sun: "Probably Ekin, Tasha, Andrew - even though he and Tasha aren't together anymore - he is a great guy. She continued: "Jacques [too], Ikenna I'm still close to, surprisingly, and he's friends with Dami." Love Island host goes 'missing' from show after falling sick hours before filming It was previously revealed two TikTok stars would be joining host Maya Jama on Aftersun, The 30-year-old is already joined once again by once again by certified superfan Sam Thompson and former Islanders Amy and Indiyah. New to the line-up are content creators Joe Baggs and Ash Holme. Ash is best known as a content creator, but she also appeared on one of the nation's biggest talent shows in 2017. Appearing on The X Factor, she originally auditioned with her group NQ, who made it to Boot Camp before being dropped from the show. But the star pulled off a rare move when she ditched her band for a new group. The singer, who was 21 at the time, was kicked off the show but returned to join Simon Cowell's imaginatively-named New Girl Band. While Joe became a household name for kicking back in front of the TV on Gogglebox. He has since become popular for his podcast Not My Bagg, where he welcomes celebrities to spill the tea. Love Island airs on ITV2 and ITVX.
