The woman who leapt to her death from a radio tower this week has been identified as Alori Joh, an emerging singer on the hip hop scene.
Her death was confirmed by the coroner who identified the singer by her legal name Loriana Johnson, according to Our Weekly. Her body was found at the base of a radio transmission tower Monday afternoon in unincorporated Rancho Dominguez near Compton.
