She was found just before 10 pm on Tuesday in a vehicle parked in the driveway of her residence just outside the city of Santa Clarita and firefighters pronounced her dead.
Mayweather served time behind bars after a September 2010 incident in which Harris claimed he barged into her Las Vegas home as she slept and attacked her in front of the couple’s children.
In 2015, Harris sued Mayweather for defamation and intentional negligent infliction of emotional distress in response to statements he made about the incident during an interview.
During his response to questions about domestic violence, Mayweather said: “Did I kick, stomp, and beat someone? No, that didn’t happen. I look in your face and say ‘No, that didn’t happen.’ Did I restrain a woman that was on drugs? Yes, I did. So if they say that’s domestic violence, then you know what? . . . I’m guilty of restraining a person.”
The cause of her death is yet to be identified.
