Daniel Bark Arrested in Alexis Cohen Hit-and-Run
Daniel Bark, a 23-year-old New Jersey resident, was arrested and charged with the death of Alexis Cohen, a former American Idol contestant, during a hit-and-run.
Cops say Bark killed Cohen with a 2005 Mitsubishi Gallant and left the scene of the predawn Saturday accident, and could face 10-15 years in prison if so.
About 4 a.m., two passersby discovered the battered body of the memorable American Idol castoff on a road in Seaside Heights on the New Jersey shore.
Her car was found about 300 yards away.

His bail was set at $35,000.
Alexis Cohen, who was studying veterinarian medicine at Montgomery County Community College, will always be remembered by legions of Idol fans.
May she rest in peace.

I have never watched this show so know little about Ms Cohen, but she must have had family who loved her and the driver was arrested so I assume he was at fault and she was simply crossing the road. Yes Justin you are a complete twat.

wow, the ignorant sure have a great time using their little keyboards. i wish on Mr. Bark and Justin the same fate as what happened to Ms. Cohen. People that make comments like that do not really benefit society in any way that I can ascertain. So eliminate them and make more room for the more compassionate.

It really is a shame. Lady might have had a terrible temper but she had a great singing voice (not slick enough for Simon and co., alas,) and she also would have benefited the world when she became a vet. The man who mowed her down, on the other hand...
It's a strange and unfair world.

Justin, I do believe you've misplaced your cerebral lobe. Your comment is more bizarre than what Alexis could have ever portrayed. Before any more stupid comments are left here let's get the facts straight. The autopsy showed NO evidence of drugs or alcohol. Alexis was simply passing through on her way to Great Adventure and had stopped for something to eat. The man who struck her is in custody after an extensive police investigation. While I feel for the young man and his family, he made a very poor decision by leaving the scene and now TWO young lives were destroyed in a blink of an eye. Ponder on that Justin before your fingers type any more brainless comments. I know what I'm talking about too, I've known Alexis since she was a child. She was a good, thoughtful young woman who would give you her last nickel. Please do not judge her by her 5 minute Idol rampage..you do NOT have all the details behind that, you just assume you do. I also want everyone to know that Simon Cowel and Ry

@Justin
Fuck you, scumbag. And that chemical dump NJ should be blown up using you as a fuse for the greater good of America, you pussy bitch.

The man is a hero. He killed tourist scum and thus should be set free because she isn't human. You wouldn't get sent to jail for hitting a dog or a raccoon, you shouldn't get sent to jail for some tourist who was too stupid to look both ways.
