On the morning of Tuesday, June 8, Pierce's roommate found her in bed breathing uneasily and could not wake her up. Paramedics transported her to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, where she died a few hours later.

Pierce was 6 feet 5 inches (77 inches) tall. Her family has a history of heart and brain diseases. It is believed that her aneurysm, located on her aorta, resulted from a genetic disorder called Marfan syndrome. Pierce was 19 years old.
